Meet Eric.... He held the needle as I was reclining and giving my blood for a good cause..It was a little longer than the normal... 13 minutes... so we had time to talk.
He has POTS. I know someone who also has that diagnosis and was interested to hear more. His main symptom is dizziness. Thankfully, not when he is drawing blood.
He has had about 8 years of experience ( I was comforted to hear that too )
He also said that he used to go to church with his Nana while he was growing up in Florida, but since he came to Washington, he has not gone.
As I left the mobile unit I told him "You should go to church, it is Christmas, and call your Nana ♥"
He said he would call, and thanked me
This is the reason I donated today. Little Charlie in the white boots has been treated for cancer for two years. Now 6 months free ! She and her family are giving back to the community for their support during this time, so they have a blood drive...also a golf tournament...and a toy drive.
Enough said.
Gotta love the Stenson family
Oh, we are related.. Charlie's grandpa and me are first cousins. Family is so precious to me.
I live an exciting life
