I just gave my 32nd pint of blood today -- earning my 4 gallon pin. I hate needles and I still can't watch as the phlebotomist goes to work. Things changed - 9/11 happened and I decided to step up to the plate.
I have other things that make me panic and cause anxiety - but this was one I conquered and one that gives me a fair amount of satisfaction for having faced. On to the next.

When I gave blood today, the technician (I think her name was... Janelle? Janette?) asked where I work, and when I said NLC she asked if I knew Lisa!
Lisa...you are actualy stepping up to the platelet.
Congratulations!
