How do I know I need blood? I feel like I did in mid June when I was anemic: not enough oxygen which causes me to be tired. I also know better than to do strenuous activities and wear myself out.
Today I got a liter of fluids since I am slightly dehydrated. I tried to bargain for only 500ml, but that didn't work. Maybe I will only get charged for a small bag!
How cheap are we?
We WON'T pay for parking, and the clinic does not validate. So, Kent went to donate platelets. They validate. There. Saved $4 for the day. That will make a difference.
Look out, Mary, he is catching up to you! I couldn't get him to stop at the good Costco, though! I will try next time.
Ok... For those of you who can't read between the lines, this is dripping with sarcasm. I guess I am feeling spunky. But remember I write this as is... No holds barred.
We do believe in donating platelets. They are only good for 5 days and cannot be frozen. Kent can donate again in 8 days. Whole blood is a different story. It can be frozen (up to 10 years) and saved for use. In addition, a donor can only donate every 56 days. Plateletes are always in need, and Kent happy to help.
Tomorrow I get a spinal tap. Wish me luck!
