I gave blood today!!(actually yesterday!) That was what my lil' sticker says.
Its been 19 yrs since I donated blood to the Red Cross. They set up outside my DD's library she works at...and as I was dropping her off to work yesterday, I noticed the sign and decided to go in. It was the first time they had set up at this library. They will be retuning in August.(which is when I will beable to donate again)
I am an RN by profession(on a LONGGGGG maternity leave, since our last child is now 11!) and had always given blood when I was working. But, had got to busy to do it while raising kiddos.
I plan to do this regularly...funny DS asked me, "Did you get paid, Mom?". I I had to explain to him they don't pay you now...but someday, one of our family or friends will need blood and someone will pay us back then with their donation.
My son's thought it was cool I gave blood...LOL.
So, this is to encourage those that CAN give blood...please do, its important!
