Oh dcp, I am so very sorry. Everything about this sounds hellishly maddening. I'm always nervous when I have to deal with shipped meds.

Friends, I worried after not seeing Instagram updates from Sue O in some time and googled and found an obituary.

I’m so sad. Did we know this and I missed it? She died January 1.

My understanding is that AB+ can receive AB+ whole blood, but none of the other blood types can receive it. Therefore, the only part of the donation useful to those other blood types is just the plasma.

What they told me was they still have to do some kind of type matching for plasma and AB+ plasma is the kind they can give anyone regardless of type. Shrug. My pulse was too high during intake or whatever that’s called so I will try again next week

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, flea. I thought for sure I'd seen her more recently than that on BlueSky, but no. I hope her dog and cat are okay.

Oh no! That breaks my heart.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A few years ago Sue asked me to pick up a rare Prefab Sprout LP that was coming out on Record Store Day. I mailed it to her and several months later she sent me a package of little treats and stickers. So sweet.

I remember how she applied for a job in Poland and got pretty deep into the interview process. She seemed restless and ready for a change.
