Uh, sorry about that, my bad.
I also am prohibited to donate blood, because my blood pressure never
goes higher than 110/70. The Red Cross guys had me jog around the
building for 15 minutes yet the systolic number stubbornly refused to
climb higher than 115.
After going to 3 separate blood drives and experiencing the exact same
incident, I give up :-(
(Besides, them blood guys said that my blood's 'not something special'
so I'm not robbing humanity of something valuable. I know they tried
to assuage my guilty feeling, but in the process also torn down my
self-respect :-(
Rgds,
Mine may not be special but it is unique for sure. It has to be. I'm
ME ! ROFL
Dale
