I donated blood again
While this may not sound that exciting, but it is. I was able to donate blood again this morning, after a little over a year without being allowed to donate.
As you probably are aware, I spent a little over a week in China last year, and apparently that is one of the countries that if you go there they won't let you donate blood for an ENTIRE year after returning.
So for the past year I have been sitting on the sidelines patiently waiting to donate blood again, because before my trip to China I had not missed a blood drive at my University. I found out that donating today made it my 13th time donating in California. 8 donations is a gallon, so I am supposed to go in to get some kind of prize for the gallon. I have actually given 14 times though, because I donated once in Edmonton before moving to California.
