“LOOKING GOOD and DONATING BLOOD”
Have a picture of my Grand-daughter, Alyssa Aldrich –she is giving “blood “on her Lunch Hour – and with that big smile – you can see she is enjoying – – the giving of the “best gift” – one’s own blood… to save another’s LIFE!
March is the Red Cross Month – and I am so proud of Alyssa for caring enough to give her own blood – and without having been, even asked to do so.
When Alyssa, e-mailed this photo over to me – it was the best picture to have received – I just had to make a couple of copies – immediately!
I used to give blood years ago and was a RED CROSS volunteer worker… for the grade school that my sons were attending – so you know how long ago that was. There came a time- – – when my blood decided to change. Each time that you go to one of their “DONATION” set-ups… they do a test to be sure you have enough iron – my blood would not do the drop and spin test – and then they just could not get my blood to fill up the require amount needed for a successful donation? Guess that is what happens – – when you gave too many times and did not restore the “IRON” into your own system???
Looks like I needed to take “iron supplements” – and still have to take my vitamins – -one of the signs that the foods – – that I like best – – do not do for the body – – that which – – I wish that they would do.
