Hi all, I just wanted to share how thrilled I am over the fact that I was able to donate blood yesterday for the first time in four years! I've always either been on an antibiotic, had low blood pressure or had too low a hemaglobin (12 is the minimum and mine was 12.5!) My pouch has battered me emotionally because there have been so many things I haven't been able to do and I often feel a failure. Yesterday, I added to the can-do list and I felt like a superhero. I put TWO stickers on my shirt I was so proud to be able to donate and help someone else. Just wanted to share something really good!
