I just gave blood. It was a new experience for me, in spite of my advanced years! No fainting spells yet.
Takew it easy.
Good for you. It is a life-saving gift, you know. Be sure to drink plenty of water and few extra calories today won’t go amiss. BTW, it takes six weeks for your RBCs to be built back up.
In this country, they won’t take my blood. Too much malaria. But in Papua, they hesitated to take mine, not because of malaria but because I have a low blood pressure.
