What a post! I tried to give blood twice. They always turned me down because my iron levels were low... maybe I should load up on steaks and spinach and go back? :o) Good luck to Taten, hopefully the donor will be found soon! Wow! What a post!

They don't charge you for donating blood, and they have to run tests on it before it hits the blood banks. Interesting that Jessica said they didn't want her for Caucasian bone marrow testing. I'll hold out positive thoughts that Taten finds a match. <em>kacey's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/kaceyskeyboard/~3/250650888/' rel="nofollow">First Signs of Spring</a></em> I had no idea that they charged you to try and match you as a donor!

I've been a regular blood donor since I've been 17 years old! It's really so easy and saves so many lives! Just don't look and you'll be fine! I volunteered to be tested for bone marrow, but would you believe they told me no. They said they really need minorities and racially mixed people and were just not interested in my caucasian-ness. I think that's terrible. Who knows who you could be a match for???? I donate platelets when I can, too. Sometimes I just don't have the time to stay at the donation center that long. <em>Jessica The Rock Chick's last blog post..<a href='http://lifeisrantastic.blogspot.com/2008/03/stand-by-your-man.html' rel="nofollow">Stand By Your Man</a></em> Good for you, Shelly!
