Lance’s First Blood Donation

Posted in Lance, Logan at 10:36 pm by lance

Ok… So in one of our previous posts I said that in honor of Logan I would be donating blood… Well that day has finally arrived…

My friend Matt just recently started to donate blood again… he’s been reading our blog and saw the post about me wanting to donate blood and it just so happened that a few days before Logan’s celebration, the blood bank called him, so he scheduled an appointment… for both of us!!! Oh joy!!! Thanks Matt!!!

Well, this afternoon, Kim and I met up with Matt and another of our friends, Dolores, at the main Blood Bank office and we all donated blood together. I was very nervous about doing this, but the people there are very good at keeping you calm.

Kim usually takes a long time to donate blood, but today she was done in 7 minutes… mine on the other hand took 12 minutes. My arm was coming sore… not from the blood draw but from squeezing the ball so much. Next time – and yes there will be a next time – I was told to drink more water from the day before I go to donate, instead of on the day of donation.

Anywho, for all those that don’t believe, here’s some pictures to prove that I actually went to donate blood…

Thanks Matt and Dolo!!!

    Hahah, Good job Lance I’m proud of you.

    I’m a little skeptical about the pictures though (we all know how good you are with Photoshop ;)

    That’s why there were 3 witnesses to Lance’s blood donation! I can vouch for Lance since I was donating blood 2 beds away from him! :o)
