Happy Birthday, and kudos to you on being a recurring blood donor!
I only did it once, and like an idiot, I didn't rest and eat enough or drink enough after I was done. It was the closest I came to passing out. Blurry vision, ringing in my ears...yikes. I've been nervous to do it ever since but I should really suck it up, since I know better now.
Thank you the kind words and well wishes. I do hope you gather enough courage to try donating again. It's easy to forget the lives we could save by giving. So give! Let me know when you do :)
