Happy BDD2013!

I made sure I had enough sleep last night. Getting five hours of sleep sounds easy but sometimes it is challenging for me.

I stopped at the gas station to grab breakfast to make sure I eat something before donating blood.


I was mentally prepared to be rejected. Last year my Hgb was low.


This time I passed the Hgb test. Then the Dr said since I had a history of leukopenia (even just one time! and it was over 5 years ago!), and last year anemia, he's afraid there is some kind of blood disorder. To err on the side of caution, he had to reject me.


I am surprised that I am still disappointed.


:-(


Anyway..


Kudos to those who donate blood at work today. The community appreciates this good deed. May Allah reward you for the selfless act.


Happy Blood Donation Day 2013!
