Well woo hoo the blood donation went great. I'm always Leary of getting all the way though it. Twice now I was too dehydrated to complete the cycle. I worried that all the vomiting I'd been doing would affect my ability to give blood. I started drinking extra water yesterday and made sure to get plenty today. Whizzed right though. Very organized today with lots of volunteers from the church where it was held. I'm so grateful that never have they brought up or commented on my arms. They are both full of scars and brandings. It's nice to feel that I can give back in some way.
