I went to a blood-letting program 4 times already. I wasn't able to donate in the first 2 times because my sleep wasn't enough and I had a period a few days before which invalidated my blood. The next two times, I was able to donate; one in August and another in December.
I also didn't know that I had to donate every 6 months (for ladies). So when a friend of a friend of a friend needed an A+ blood, I went to the hospital only to find out that I can't give blood because I just donated some. (It was January.) I didn't even think it through because I really wanted to help. My mind only thought, I should give blood. Silly me. It's a good thing I'm not the only person who's about to donate blood. (relieved)
Thats so great @steemangel! We can be blood-giving sisters haha It is quite interesting that you are only permitted to donate every 6 months, what country do you live? We, in New Zealand are fortunate enough to donate every 3 months so I always make my next appointment when I leave.
It does suck when you really want to help someone, especially personally known to you, and cant - But I do hope that friend of a friend of a friend is healthy and well now.

I hope so too. Thank you @thereceptionist! Well, men are allowed to donate every 3 months but ladies are suggested to donate every 6 months because we have our monthly period meaning we always loose blood and regenerate new ones.
