The last few times I've gone in to do plasma I've had a difficult time getting my wounds to stop bleeding. My inner arms have been punctured so many times that the skin is just getting tired of rehealing. Today I stood there for a good twenty minutes with my arm raised over my head and the hand of my other arm applying pressure to the wound, trying to get it to heal. I eventually had to have the technician person there give me an ice pack to get it to stop.

Plus, my schedule at school this semester is going to be even more killer than last semester was. I'm going to have to quit. It's been interesting, certainly educational. I'm still broke and need the money, but I can't continue doing this. I may be able to start up again, or at least try sometime in the future after my system has had a chance to get over this beating it's been taking. But for now I'm going to have to throw in the towel.
