I understand what people are saying about the calls. I received one today after they thought I had missed my appointment. It's not a big deal to me, though. I politely told him that I did go and to remove my name from their call list--I'm happy to return in a couple of months and they really don't need to be calling me.
As for the facility, it hasn't changed since I last donated in 2005. Yes, I know it's been ages. The entire process was pretty painless (literally and figuratively). Since I was doing the plasma thing, they gave me a blanket and I'm glad. I remember getting chilly the last time.
The staff are mostly friendly and bubbly. It's not that anyone is unfriendly, but the person who started me off didn't seem to have much of a personality. That's no biggie. I only mention it because I am staring right at Norm K's review as I type this.
Anyway, I'm glad I finally went back. I'll definitely be returning in a couple of months.
