Minor personal milestone

Posted on by Fred Langa

Hope you don’t mind my sharing, but I’m now officially a 10 gallon (38 liter) blood donor. That’s 80 separate donations! 🙂

Are you a blood donor? It’s easy: Each donation usually takes only 15 minutes or so actually donating; only involves a very brief discomfort (come on — don’t be a wimp!); and can literally save lives.

  1. Congratulations on the 10 gallon milestone. For folks who are AB- like myself, they should look into donating plasma instead of whole blood.

    1. Good idea! AB- blood is the rarest type and hardest to match. Donating plasma or platelets is a better option for them/you.

      In fact, people with AB- blood can only safely receive blood from other AB- people… and from O- people, like me. 🙂

      (O-is the “universal donor” blood type; but O- people can only receive blood from other O- people.)
