I went to United Blood Services today

My iron count was up high enough for me to donate blood today. I know it's the results of eating more meat in the past few days. Sunday morning we had hamburgers and eggs. Today we had hamburgers and eggs. I have avoided the cheese and milk for the past three or four days. Since I donated today, I won't be able to donate again until December.

For someone who is afraid of needles, I enjoy giving blood. I think it's the wonderful people working for United Blood Services. They are friendly and helpful, they explain the entire process of the blood donation. After donating, I remained in the office, ate chocolate chip cookies and drink grape juice. I came home with a purple bandage around my arm.
