RE: You want to save a life? 🌟 Get amongst it!!
I went to a blood-letting program 4 times already. I wasn't able to donate in the first 2 times because my sleep wasn't enough and I had a period a few days before which invalidated my blood. The next two times, I was able to donate; one in August and another in December.
I also didn't know that I had to donate every 6 months (for ladies). So when a friend of a friend of a friend needed an A+ blood, I went to the hospital only to find out that I can't give blood because I just donated some. (It was January.) I didn't even think it through because I really wanted to help. My mind only thought, I should give blood. Silly me. It's a good thing I'm not the only person who's about to donate blood. (relieved)
Thats so great @steemangel! We can be blood-giving sisters haha It is quite interesting that you are only permitted to donate every 6 months, what country do you live? We, in New Zealand are fortunate enough to donate every 3 months so I always make my next appointment when I leave.
It does suck when you really want to help someone, especially personally known to you, and cant - But I do hope that friend of a friend of a friend is healthy and well now.
I hope so too. Thank you @thereceptionist! Well, men are allowed to donate every 3 months but ladies are suggested to donate every 6 months because we have our monthly period meaning we always loose blood and regenerate new ones.
Oh yes, that makes sense. Better to be safe than sorry right?
Yeah. Exactly! Hope I could visit New Zealand in the future.
I hope you do too @steemangel New Zealand really is a beautiful place. Where abouts in the world are you from?
I'm from the Philippines. I forgot to mention it. Sorry. 😂
Mint! I'd love to visit the Philippines one day. Heres to the future! May all our dreams come true :)
Cheers! 🍻 Haha. May dreams become memories! Followed you using my original account.
