I really think people should give blood if and when they can. I had an appointment today and on my way home I saw a sign for a blood drive. I hadn't eaten yet, so I turned into Burger King and got a kids meal and headed over to donate blood. I got there as they opened and was their first blood donation, but by the time I left people were filing in to donate. They were offering a free movie ticket to each person, so that was a really nice surprise and since it was in the movie theater parking lot they said they'd be really busy today. I was glad to get in and out quickly.
The last time I went to donate blood I was told my blood pressure was 70/50, so I couldn't donate. I'm pretty sure my blood pressure wasn't that low; I'd be having more issues than just being light headed after a donation. Today, I was told my heart skipped 2 beats in a minute and then my heart would speed up to make up for the missing beat; so I was told I have an irregular heartbeat. Seriously, I really wonder about the nurses sometimes.
GO DONATE BLOOD!
