Giving blood

was easier this time, as the Central Kentucky Blood Centre is getting better at dealing with latex allergy. (One of the people who took care of me had it, too). Thanks to Lee from South Africa with the soothing voice and Meged who actually drew my blood and managed to do so painlessly. Plus, I was able to give despite my carpal tunnel surgeries (I never received blood products, for one), and my hematocrit was actually high, over 14...apparently peanut butter, which I've eaten a lot of lately, is very good for your blood iron. :)
