Eating shrimp and spinach paid off

They took me! Yayyyyy!

Now I must record my stats:
Weight: 137
Pulse: 72
BP: 116/74
Temp: 98.4
Iron # thingie: 12.6 - they changed this test, it used to measure on a different scale. The minimum is 12.5 so I barely made it.
Time: 9 minutes (normal is 5-10 minutes, so I'm a bit slow)

I didn't need the cold cloth this time, but I did get pale and "tingly" at the end so they reclined me and brought me juice.

The gal next to me was a first-timer. She was from New Zealand, and she had a "pierced tooth" - or so it looked. I'd never seen that before. She says it's not very big in the U.S. Have you guys ever seen that? It was cool.

Today's a workout day - oops, can't do that now, have to take it easy. Instead of skipping I'll just do it tomorrow.

Sorry! :( I'm a horrible person!
If it makes you feel better it's the first time I've been able to do it in a year. Almost to the day.

It's okay, seriously. I'm more angry at stupid US law than I am at people who donate, especially since I have the second rarest blood type in the US, so they always need it and I can't give it. Lametastic, I say.

Yeah, like Karina's picture! It was snazzy looking!

I usually don't record my weight on here but meh. Now I can have record of my dieting progress or non-progress.

Your iron was REALLY low!! :(
Be well, John Spartan!

But it wasn't so low that they wouldn't take me! I think I just don't eat very well. And I know I don't drink enough water, but I don't really like water that much - except after exercising, when I crave it.

you only weigh 2 more lbs than me!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Really? But you said you just gained 20 pounds! Ack! Plus you're taller. I think. An inch or so at least?

Dude, I totally pass out anytime I have to get blood tests. I get so dizzy and I start sweating and everything! I could never donate blood.
The blood donation people always call me asking for my blood because I am O+ which is the perfect donater.
I tell them that I would pass out and even probably die if they took that much blood out of me because I don't weigh enough. I'm also on pills and that's not good.
YOU CAN'T HAVE MY BLOOD! IT'S MINE!

I WISH I was skinny enough to not be able to donate. *sigh* I'll never see that weight again, methinks.

According to azurien it all goes to vampires anyway, so no big deal that you can't give. lol
