Thanks, Kathy. I understand the hands of the Red Cross are tied by the FDA. I'd just like somethin' to change. Develop a test at least. For months after I could no longer bite the bullet, the Red Cross continued to call me for my O neg blood and I'd have to remind the caller that my juice was suspect.
I'm sure something will change in the future. Would just like the process to move faster, is all. I feel better now that uncleshag and the band gave on my behalf.
I get called every 56 days for A neg, but had to put it off because of this stupid cold. When I get there, I'll try to remember to inquire about a possible test, especially since so many of our military are excluded. The Os are being begged for on the radio every day lately.
