Gave blood today. Piece of cake.

For many years I had high BP and fast pulse. Today it was 100/60 and 60 bpm.

1. Glad to hear your vitals are looking better!

And thank you for donating blood, it’s always desperately needed.

3. Yep. Have a Pacemaker that

Won’t let my pulse go below 60. It runs 85% of the time. Trying to get the Cardiologist to lower my BP meds. I have no AFib. Went to another heart doc and he lower the dosage, but not enough. I jog 3 or 4 times a week and stay very active for a 74 year old.

4. I was asking about your blood donations and your current healthy stats. Sorry for not being clear.

I know it's personal, so, don't answer if it's crossing any boundaries.

5. The last time I gave blood was about 30 years ago. Everything went well till the technician realized the valve

on the bag was set to open on the floor. The floor was covered with my blood..
Kinda sorta turned me off to donating in the future... I am an organ donor though.
If they screw it up I'll be dead and won't care..
Color it with dark hospital humor...
