Good Pixie!

Rest day today due to being a good pixie and giving blood!

I also picked up a leaflet on Platelet donation but suspect that will be too much of a commitment as they look for donations 8-10 times a year.

Grandma had a blood transfusion when she had her hip replaced so I know how important blood is. Also mum has a weak heart valve and will need it replacing in the next few years (5 max I think) so I am very aware of the need for blood. Add I am O RH+ and that 83% of peeps can use my blood then yes it should be done. We'll see.

Good on you. Sadly I'm not allowed to give blood anymore after I collapsed after a couple of donations. Makes me fell like a wimp when they hold Blood Donor sessions at work.
