PSBC needs your help

Passing along a request for help from your local blood bank: Please donate blood, if you are eligible. The recent weather craziness has impacted donations (down) and need (up). This is a bad combo :}.

I've been turned away twice in the last 2 months. Thanks for the reminder to try again. Darn low hematocrit...

Heh. Perhaps while bf is not the time to removing other bodily fluids...

I am still grumpy that I am permanently ineligible. Turns out visiting my Dad's family was a bad thing...

I think of you every time I get to the England questions.

I would, but I don't want to lose the possibility of selling plasma. If something comes up, and OMG I need money! I can always go sell my plasma.

I don't know if it'll ever come up, but if it does...

Don't ever try to pump my blood into another human being, as it could have nasty effects. I've got permanent Toxemia affecting my renal system, and I've been mis-diagnosed with Hepatitis several times by amateurs who were not professional phlebotomy specialists.

"Da Pro's" tell me that the net effect would be extremely bad for the recipients kidneys almost immediately, as it would be dumping heavy calcium and lime content into them.
