And hope is flowing through my veins
Thursday, 25 January 2007, 22:35Donated blood this evening. This makes me happy.
Even if it was touch-and-go for a while, finding a vein. The nurse threatened to make me go home if she couldn't get one. :( I don't like having uncooperative arms, especially when under pressure.
I had to laugh inwardly at the questions they make you answer. There's a whole section about "During the last year, have you had sex with someone who...?". What with me being me, of course, it could simply have gone "During the last year, have you had sex--" "NO". But nope, sat through the questions anyway.
It's like a more boring, less inventive Purity Test.
Also, I couldn't even have the orange squash and biscuit. Boo hoo! They did give me water instead, though, so, er, hurrah...
Anyway, I now know I'm not anaemic and I'll get a new "you are B+, well done" card thingy in the post, hopefully also confirming that I don't have any nasty virus, and I donated an armful and did the lifesaving thing and so I am happy. Niffles.
