  1. I did a thing and had my 244th #blooddonation at #StanfordBloodCenter on Monday, with 2 units of platelets extracted. By now, probably leaving the labs for use at emergencies and cancer treatments with really sick people.

    The limited free gift is a #SanJoseEarthquakes scarf - good to use during these 80-90F days the west coast is having. 😀

  2. Monday had a slightly off cycle regular #blooddonation of platelets at #stanfordbloodcenter. All time donation 228! About 2 hours end to end.

    Donate if and when you can; do some good somewhere. Positively impacting another human is a Good Thing.

  3. Did a thing today - 2 units of blood platelets out of me, through the tubes, into the centrifuge and into bags now on their way to the labs and surgery rooms for compatible humans. Lifetime donation # 224 done at #stanfordbloodcenter

    Donate if you can. It's not hard, doesn't take long, and you can help a stranger or two.

  4. #blooddonation number 221 today at #stanfordbloodcenter . It was platelets again, 2 units into the bags, at the labs right now and en route to someone on a surgery table who really needs them.

    I may think about upping my donations to cross 300 donations in a couple years.

  5. Just back from blood donation (platelets) number 218. 2 units went into the bags from the centrifuge at #stanfordbloodcenter The bags went to the labs, and into a human in a day or two.

    Interestingly, I haven't been asked for a triple donation recently - it's been quarters at least. Possibly age related, or their staffing level. They were short some snacks, although I was there end of the day.

  6. Donated 2 units of #platelets yesterday at one of #stanfordbloodcenter donation centers. Tried my right arm, which I hadn't used for donations in a while. I'm still on a regular donation, and this was 215 I think. I'm considering increasing if it works for them.

    #donateblood if you can. You'll likely give life to another human.

  7. I had my 210th #BloodDonation last week at #StanfordBloodCenter. As usual, platelets and 2 bags sucked out. This aways feels good to help others.

    I need to switch arms, but the veins on the other arm side aren't as good and near a valve which can slow future donations.

    Put a good chunk into Brian Johnson's #Arete, but need to set it aside as higher library hold priorities showed up.

  8. Just back from errands, and #1 errand was my 201st #blooddonation of #platelets at #stanfordbloodcenter. The 2 units are off to labs, processing and soon to a very sick human who needs them.

    #donateblood if you can. It's easy and can save lives.

  9. 200th #BloodDonation today at #StanfordBloodCenter. wooo! Milestone reached. Can I get to 300 in about 8 years? Not sure.

  10. #Blooddonation #199 on Monday at #StanfordBloodCenter. Just 2 units of platelets this time as they had decent supplies. Which meant about 30 mins less in the chair for me than usual 3 units.

    I always feel good after donating knowing that my blood is going to be used in someone reason sick. Oddly, I also sleep heavier that night too.

  11. Visited a #stanfordbloodcenter location and donated 3 units of platelets for my 19x something #blooddonation Monday afternoon. And they had the larger sized #PacificCookieCompany of #SantaCruz cookies too, which go great with pog juice.

    110 mins in the chair getting blood pulled and returned. Hopefully no future gashes or papercuts until I regenerate the cells.
