Great tips! I will also drink a ton more water than I usually drink... I just looked up places, and MD Anderson Cancer Center has a donation center, and I know that place like the back of my hand since my mom works there. So that's where I'm going to go!
Thank you, Elania! I am going to look up places to donate this week. I'm a fainter, so I kind of think it's inevitable that I'll faint while giving blood. I'll make sure to tell them during intake and see what they want to do about it... :)
