Got Platelets?

This is a first. I need platelets again today, but my nurse informed me this morning that there's a shortage and I'll have to wait until the hospital gets a fresh supply. The need is dire, both at City of Hope and at the local Red Cross.

City of Hope may not offer the same luxury service offered by UCLA (as described in an earlier comment from Margaret), but you can be assured of the following perks:

• A wide selection of savory or sweet snacks and fruit juices
• A warm blanket
• A video screened on your own private TV
  
• A City of Hope Blood Bowl T-Shirt
• A $5 In N Out git certificate and movie coupon for AMC Theatres OR a pint of ice cream from Baskin Robbins
• The chance to win dinner for two at Outback Steakhouse (before November 30)
• A "get out of housework" (or cooking or any other chore you abhor) free card (It's every bit as good as the "cancer card.")
• My undying gratitude
