I get to the blood bank and get all the way to the part where they prick your finger to test your iron. My iron levels were too low this time, just barely below the borderline. I've been tested for anemia before, and I'm not anemic, but the FDA won't let blood banks take people with a certain level. The nurse told me that it's not unhealthy for me to be that low since I'm still in my child bearing years. It's just frustrating to not even be able to do THAT. Oh well, I'll take my multivitamins and try again in a few weeks.
10der, are you saying that the Air Force won't let you donate to the Red Cross, or that b/c you've lived in Germany since 1980, you are inelligable? When I go in, they ask me if I've traveled outside the US or Canada in the last 3 years. I think if you've been in the country for that long, you're ok.
And BTW, I've missed you.
