You have to donate your own blood in case you lose a lot of blood

during surgery and need a transfusion. This is called a special

donation requested by your doctor. When you donate your own blood,

you eliminate the risk of acquiring infectious diseases that may be

transmitted by blood tranfusion.

If your blood is not used, they will discard it and it can not go to

a blood bank due to hospital requirements. It took me about 10

minutes to donate 1 pint but I had to stay afterwards and drink

juice and eat some snacks so I wouldn't be as dizzy or lightheaded.

Kay,

That sounds like a great plan to enjoy food every night with

friends! My coworkers keep laughing at me every day because just all

I talk about is what I am going to eat at the next meal. Thank God

these hooks are keeping me from eating as much as I would like

because I would be as big as a house by now. They would need a crane

to lift me up on the operating table..(haha) I have been fortunate

enough to have lost 10 lbs. since May 12th when these hooks were put

on. Maybe if I keep it up I will finally fit in those size 7 jeans!

WAHOOOO!!!

Anyway, I will chat with you later! Have a Great Evening!
