Blood Monsters

Hello everyone who reads this...all four of you. Things have happened recently so let's catch up.

First I had a horrible experience giving my blood about two weeks ago. I go to donate and get strapped into the chair. They put the needle in and shit is going pretty smooth. Then all of a sudden, there is a beep. My blood has stopped flowing from my veins. They move the needle around under my skin,which was horrifying. The blood started flowing again and the BEEEEP! It stopped again. They bring a guy over who is clearly a specialist in this situation seeing as how he did nothing but shove the needle into my arm even farther up and higher. It hurt so much. Blood once again resumes draining from my arm and then that damn beep starts up again. I'm told that my blood is clotting in my veins and that they can't use what they took from me because they need all the coagulants my body can muster. So in arm pain and feeling slightly perturbed I go to get my free blood cookies and juice after I receive the much coveted Indiana Blood Center hat that doesn't fit me. I watch as Caitlin gives blood and slowly slips in and out of consciousness as a large woman she referred to as Bubby drains her of her fluids and tries to keep her awake.

it was a harrowing experiences for me and the Mrs. but we pulled through. I was assured that nothing like this would happen again if I decided to deplete my fluids for the good of man kind, but I don't think I will.So that's about it. I will post more soon. Enjoy.

Now here is something bloody and fun.
