[Ansteorra] Request for Help - Blood Donations Needed

Thu Jun 3 11:03:05 PDT 2010

Unfortunately, I have been told they will not take my blood. I was always
kept current on the worldwide shot list because my National Guard unit was
on quick deploy anywhere in the world. Plus I have had all the Hepatitis and
other biggies from being an EMT. They said the markers for some of those
diseases were in my blood and they would screen me out because of them. Most
recently, I tried at Pennsic a few years ago.

In service,
Caelin on Andrede

Sound like we may need to coordinate some after noon road trips to a Carter
Blood Center. I know that people in BG could reach Waco in an afternoon.

Anyone in? I used to be anemic but not anymore so I have never donated
before. I don't wanna go alone.
