1. I bet his arms hurt

Seriously -- every few weeks for how long? How many places can they draw blood from?

Ouch. But good for him.

3. Probably plasma, twice a week you can donate if you meet the standards

I did it for a while when I lived near a donation center.

10. Great man and great story. I can't give blood because of my Army service

I made the mistake of being honest about living in Europe for more than 3 months (mad cow). I was stationed in Germany for 3 years.

I can't give blood now. Sucks.

11. What a trooper!

My hubby is a regular blood donor, as my Mother was. The Red Cross gave Mom a pin resembling a golden drop of blood and retired her out at age 65. But this guy is really special. 2 million babies! Wow!
