I was supposed to start my 3 day hospital stay for the internal radiation
today......my blood counts were so low that it would have been extremely
dangerous to proceed. Instead I received 2 units of red blood cells. I can
not begin to express how much better I feel and how grateful I am to those
who donated this blood....to give me energy and oxygen to my organs.....to
give me some of my life back.

OK, I'll do it...

We're having a blood drive at work in a couple of days. For one reason and another, I've gotten out of the habit of donating blood for the past few years.

So, I've been ignoring the blood drive signs & emails here.

But, your photo has inspired me. I'm signing up now :-)

Even though, obviously, people around are not donating blood for ME, I always thank people for doing it. I had to have so many blood transfusions and platelets when I had cancer, it wasn't even funny. My mom just told me that she just finished giving blood to cover all the times I needed it last year.

It's a wonderful gift to give any one. I can't donate blood or organs, so I really appreciate the people who can and do.
