I’m giving blood tomorrow night. Mostly because the Red Cross called me personally and asked if I would donate, given my blood type and the fact that nationwide there’s a less-than 2 day supply. When something like Hurricane Charley happens, you realize how important that blood supply is. How important it is EVERY day.
So if you are a healthy adult, find your nearest donation center and sign up. If nothing else, do it for the juice and cookies! (If you live in the Leominster area, tomorrow they will be at the Elks from 1 to 7 or so.)
I’m just crossing my fingers that my iron levels are good enough for me to donate. I’ve been pretty good about taking my supplements, but you never know.
