Deferred.
That's what they prefer you call it. Instead of rejected.
Today I went to donate blood--something I try to do as often as I can--and I was deferred. Not enough iron. I was so bummed. She told me they could do a second test so, why not? Not so much. The second test had a lower iron level than the first! I guess my plan to eat Oreos to boost my iron levels didn't really work after all. I am hopeful that I can boost my iron and find another local drive to attend. I'd really like to donate before the end of the year.
I had planned to take pictures of me with a needle hanging out and my "I gave blood today" sticker, but obviously not so much. So I have no picture to post. Maybe another day.
