Sing with me!
You put your right arm in (jacked from Monday)
You put your left arm in (jacked from Thursday)
You wonder why you keep donating
but you do the plasma pokey and you keep getting paid
That’s what it’s all about!

| From June 2009 |
To make a long story short:
Couldn’t donate in right arm because of bruise from Monday
Had to donate in left arm which has tiny veins
My vein started puffing up like a bubble while donating
Lost some blood (not supposed to happen),
Nearly fainted TWO times (one in the chair, one in the waiting room)
Had to lie flat on my back in the front waiting room with 20 other people staring at me while I get ice packs all over my body and have to eat crackers
The end.
Will I donate again? You betcha…just gotta have both arm bruises go away and I’m clear!
So, I do the plasma pokey and I keep getting paid, that’s what it’s all about!
(oh yah, and I’m saving lives!)
the paquettes 
totally agree!! The bruises wouldn’t keep me away either. It’s too bad that donating plasma has stripped most of my body’s vital protein away. Can you write some lyrics about that part for me : ) Hopefully after a month’s worth of daily protein shakes, they will let me come back… hopefully! There is this shirt at Kohl’s I really want!! And since any plasma money I can make now won’t have to feed my family (la la la!!!), I can keep what I make for me me me – oh yeah, and like you said, I’ll be saving lives again.
