Ok its coming to that time of year…holidays and merry-making are spread over the coming months culminating in the marketing blitz known as Christmas and New Years.
This time of the year also sees a rise in accidents and shortage of blood at the blood banks. My sister and I waited out our mandatory quarantine period post our return from India and went to give our contribution this Saturday. The nice people at the blood bank were kind enough to give us bandages that matched our clothes as well (My sister’s was by coincidence and mine by manipulation ;p).
Putting aside all the jokes i do ask those of you who can to please give if it fits into your personal ideologies. Its a relatively painless process, if you discount being asked how much you weigh and the tiny pin-prick to your finger for the iron test, and it takes only about half an hour from start to finish (please do keep in mind that some days it may take longer due to the high volume of donors but its for a good cause).
Here’s my sister and i after my 6th and her 22nd donation.
Enjoy your week!
fwah… i thought i only suck your blood one! now you let other people suck too!
Both of you looking fuzzy after giving blood – be careful
