Blood Donation Number 2

Well I braved it again - and gave blood tonight for the second time!

After an hours wait, I was eventually called through and had my iron levels tested.  Another 20 minutes wait followed before I was taken to the relaxing seats.  The very, very young nurse tried to locate a vein on my left arm and then decided to change to my right. I became slightly apprehensive when I was told my veins were very thin and the young nurse had to ask a colleague for advice on which vein to go for! However, I need not have worried she didn't hurt me at all and I was soon enjoying a cup of coffee and bourbon biscuits!

All in all not a bad experience - even with the long wait - a good excuse to sit in peace and quiet with my book people watching!

OH FFS ...


Nobody told me when I was setting up my blogs that it would only allow 20 separate tab pages!  Now I have to find a way to combine all my pages without losing all the information and the organised layout!  ARGHHHHHHHHH!
