"In Yer Face!"

It was that kind of a day. First they sucked this out of my arm.



No it didn't come out that way, but what you see is indeed all mine after they put it through the centrifuge. Pretty wild eh? Roo was surprised by how much they took

Then this is the part that they drew off. It is primarily platelets, the portion of your blood that contains the "growth factors".



And pumped it back into my face



Well most of it anyway.



It really isn't as bad as it looks since I have no feeling in my head anyway. The circle he drew is the area of the saliva glands, and the 2 lines indicate the position of the duct that then carries the saliva to your mouth.

Other than that it was a good day. I also visited one of my friends at Valleyview home this afternoon, and tomorrow I will tell you what I learned. I hope tomorrow is as good a day as I have to go to the dentist for an hour and a half in the morning and then I have a meeting with my boss in the afternoon. I'm nervous about both of them. Wish me luck!


While I was looking for "face" quotes I found this. I'm not a religious man but something about this one struck a resounding chord with me.

“When you say a situation or a person is hopeless, you are slamming the door in the face of God."---Charles L. Allen
