Great video Mike, hope it encourages people to donate, you made it look very calming and the ladies there were lovely. The power of the elements moving the ship was incredible..wow. Hope you enjoyed your snacks...worth going just for them...lol...
Thanks 'Celeste'..... It Really is Not a Big Deal.... unless you have difficulty with needles...... I am an O+ blood type and have been donating, Seriously, for ten (10) years and when a nurse asked me, "...have you ever considered doing a 'Power Red'??". I inquired what that was and what it involved, AND How Important it is....well I Had to try it the next time. But, I alternate between 'Power Red' and a Whole Blood donation, but the 'Power Red' is the one that is needed during Major Ops and transfusions... But, I need to do a better job in my personal diet..... I'm 50+ and can't eat like I'm 20, so Eating More Healthy ( and kinda avoiding coffee for a week before donation ) is able to donate ~regularly. So I will probably donate at least 2 - 3 times a year...we'll see..... Anyways, thanks for watching, Maybe it Could encourage you to do a 'Whole Blood', if not just know I can do it .... And a Happy "Better" New Year for You and Your Family members............... and lastly My name is Mario.... ' Mike ' is a Phonetic Alphabet "name" for the letter "M"....also it is my brother's name....No Worries... C U on the 'Flip-Side'!!!
Excellent video my friend! I cant even imagine how much the ship is moving!!!!!! 😮 Good on you for that donation...great video to end the year! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yeah...Right..... There were a few times, that the ship was "Getting Underway!" As far as the donation....been doing it Quite often...so Often, that sometimes my iron level would be just a BIT Too low, so I'll probably donate twice a year. BUT, OH WHAT A Feeling!!!and still going.
@@mayflores5931 Yeah, but this is what " I " did.... started eating a little better, wife has been on my case a little (~), but Personally....stop drinking coffee for a Week, and snacking on nuts ( I love my nuts ). AND taking iron pills everyday for a week WITH O.J........ not great for digestive syst, as it get you a bit ... constipated, but Drink MORE Water.... My hematocrit was the Highest it has ever been....but now having coffee an hour after eating... and staying healthy, eating spinach with my sandwiches
