Have you ever had one of those weeks? One of those weeks that is just an emotionally draining? Man I had one this week, at it has taken alot out of me. If you listened to the radio show this morning (Friday, May 11th) you noticed that JB was not on the air with us. JB's Granmother passed away Wednesday morning and he left this morning to attend her funeral on Thursday. That same morning my phone rang at 5:45 with bad news. A good friend of mine had been taken to the hospital by ambulance at around 11:45 the night before. He had lost of lot of blood and was in critical condition. I won't get in to all the details, but my buddy was sick, very very sick and he needed blood. Thank God there are people out there that give blood on a regular basis so there was blood available for him. I encouraged our listeners to give blood at some point in the next 7 days. I have yet to go and feel guilty for not being the first in line. But, I fully intend to give blood in the next few days. My friend is now out of ICU and in a normal room and may be discharged this weekend. Thanks to everyone who has given blood in the past and if you never have check out www.bloodandtissue.org While I was looking up that website I made an appointment on line to give blood on Monday, May 13th at 12:00 Noon. Very Easy. Ah, I feel better.
Have a great weekend.

#1 I wanted to leave a comment because I hate having a blog with no comments- it feels like your talking without an audience.
#2 Thank you for encouraging people to donate. It's the one thing that many people can give regardless of income and helping to save a life is priceless.
I feel guilty for not donating every 8 weeks. We all really should.
