If you have the transfusions, you up your blood volume which ups your oxygen levels, which makes you better or something.
I think.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Athletes can take out their own red blood cells, store them for later and then inject it back in--resulting in more red blood cells and more oxygen delivery to the muscles. They call it blood doping, rather than PEDs.

Don't race horses receive blood doping too?

I thought some of his transfusions were in regard to his cancer treatments.

Pretty easy. DH had a high school baseball coach who taught some of the team members to do it.

Yikes, Cash.
I had super low blood count before my surgery six year ago -- I had to have a transfusion before they sliced and diced, and I tell you what, that shit pumped me up. Of course, I was totally weak and it brought me up to more or less normal. Still, it was pretty amazing. Blood. Good shit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Beau and I literally spent 8 hours today resolving DMV matters
I had to go into the DMV to renew my license this year, because it's been 10 years, but I made an appointment, and the whole thing took me less than 15 minutes.
Of course, I got lost on the way there and drove around for almost an extra half hour and then sat in traffic for 45 minutes on the way back.

Taking the test and doing the reg paperwork, that took us about 30-45 minutes. But then we had to get our cars checked out, go back and get plates, etc.
Madness.

One way or another, the DMV will make you pay.
I had one yuck experience there in Baltimore, and I had one where the person went above and beyond just because. I choose to remember the last one as the defining experience.
