Achievement unlocked: 8-gallon donation!
No more than minor medical details below, though I do mention the abstract of being intentionally poked with a needle.
Due to an excellent stick, me having plenty of time this morning and thus the ability to give a double rather than a single unit, and the possibility of donating two rather than one units of plasma at the same time (I did not know that was possible; I thought they capped that at one), I somehow, amazingly, made *four* donated units in one go! I'm still goggle-eyed over the whole thing. :D That's my 8, and I have the pin to prove it. Must attach it to the fleece full of buttons and patches.
