As some of you may know, back in October (Columbus Day to be exact ), I chaired my first blood drive. I wanted to give SO BAD and was temporarily deferred for low iron. I was so disappointed. We ended up collecting 29 pints (1 short of our goal of 30) and people kept telling me that if it wasn't for me, they wouldn't have gotten any since I put the whole thing together. Well, that's true, but I was still disappointed.
Anyway, today we had another blood drive (my theme to get people to sign up was "Give a pint, drink a pint - Happy St. Patty's Day!" LOL), and I've been trying SO hard to try to eat okay for IBS and make sure to get my iron up....and it worked!! I gave blood for the first time today, and I feel awesome!!!
Just had to share!
