Well, THAT was a bust.

Love the Lizard. Hug the Lizard. So,
and I went to donate plasma today. After going through the whole rigmarole, finally got on the machine... and after about 15 minutes I got a hematoma in the arm they had the needle in. So they tried to switch arms but the vein in my left arm sucks for plasma collection and also got a hematoma right off the bat. So I wasn't able to complete the donation but they still compensated me for my time. But now I'm walking around like a robot with my arms stuck straight out because of the small icepacks struck to the inside of my elbows with medical tape!
Xav had a clot in the machine and so he wasn't able to complete donating either. D'oh!

Needles terrify me to no end...even though I have a minor blood-draw fetish? >.> I just can't stand the thought of needles. Makes me sick, dizzy and sometimes I faint.
