Giving blood

I went with my dad yesterday to donate blood. I snuck some pictures of the process...if you have a weak stomach...proceed at your own risk. ;-)

Idodine

The needle is in...no, that's not blood dripping, that's iodine
hmm...maybe it is blood. I don't really know!

My phelbotomist. She was GREAT!!! I didn't feel a thing!

And at the end...filling the tubes.
I donated in 4 min 15 sec.
My best time ever and her fastest donation that day!

And only my 2nd time in 38 years that I could donate, too! (Thanks to low blood pressure all these years!) Love you!
