"you give and take away"

Back in bureau today - not a happy bunny! But only 4 days until I go home so it's not all bad!

The blood donor nurses were at work today. I have always wanted to give blood but every time that the blood bus came to uni I had badminton that night so the nurses would advise against it. Today I was determined to give blood, all test dependent of course, but mainly because I had lost quite a bit of blood during my jaw surgery and although I didn't need to receive blood, it reminded me how it important it is and how your pint of blood can save someone's life!

465ml of blood later and my donation was complete! It's the first time that anyone has thanked me for my blood! Usually it's been taken from me for tests as I am a walking medical record. Or a hypochondriac as my mum calls it! haha!

And anyway, giving blood is a great excuse to spend the rest of the day munching on whatever you like to help build it all back up again! Sugary foods at the ready!
