Blood Donors Are Plasma-tically Amazing!

Why yes I am!

Another Red Cross blood donation in the books -


The Power Red machine I was hooked up to - 


Good news too, they NO longer need to prick your finger to capture a small amount of blood to check your hemoglobin level to ensure you have enough iron to safely donate, nope!  They now have a senor that fits around your thumb, that connects to a battery operated machine and that reads your hemoglobin level.

Honestly, that was really the worst part of the donation process, that darn finger prick.

Automation is a good thing.
