Ugh yeah, I feel like they should've have a fishing licence for the last time I went and they couldn't find my vein again. This time, though, was a success! And a fast one, too. Clocked in at around 6 minutes :$
It was a sham! I was bamboozled! They lost my vein and after a few minutes of fishing for it declared me useless and sent me off with a few cookies :'(
But I have a sick bruise and another appointment scheduled in 2 months :cheese
Canadian Blood Services rang me up last week and told me I was up for another donation, and thus I am scheduled for tomorrow! Count me! Plus the woman told me apparently my blood type (B+) means I save 3 lives per donation?! I assume some of that is optimistic statistic, but still, wow. And I...
Apparently in Canada they upped they # of days between donations for women only. Something about noticing a lot of women don't have a safe amount of iron (or something else, I don't remember) built back up in time. There were some grumpy ladies.
I just finally got back into giving in December! I think I'm do for another appointment shortly... I'll have to remember to submit here, too ;)
Mmmmm.... cookies...
