Giving Blood

I gave blood today.

I have 11 ‘Donor Credits’. Some of these are from donating plasma, where you receive 2 credits.

I definitely don’t donate enough, so I’ve already booked my next appointment.

I would encourage everyone who can to donate blood. It’s an extremeley cheap way to help save a life.

A person in a chair in front of me had fainted. Be sure that, on the day of your donation, you eat a good meal a couple of hours before your donation time.

This gives the food enough time to start digesting. Also have plenty to drink. I’d had two large mugs and a small mug of tea, a glass of orange juice, and a bottle of water before even arriving at the donation centre.
