Gave blood, they only got half, though my veins are like sewer pipes. She mauled my arm…
SO pissed.

I NEED to give like twice what they’ll take as my hemocrit is way too high… and they only take half of what they could, which since it isn’t full they’ll just toss…

Didn’t make any progress, was 56, same/same as when I started…

I hate getting bled, as they’d throw the blood away and I’m O- (less then a days supply in town…)

anyway…

That sounds a wee bit dangerous.

But congrats. That’s a lot of weight!
