Uh, sorry about that, my bad.
I also am prohibited to donate blood, because my blood pressure never goes
higher than 110/70. The Red Cross guys had me jog around the building for
15 minutes yet the systolic number stubbornly refused to climb higher than
115.
After going to 3 separate blood drives and experiencing the exact same
incident, I give up :-(
(Besides, them blood guys said that my blood's 'not something special' so
I'm not robbing humanity of something valuable. I know they tried to
assuage my guilty feeling, but in the process also torn down my
self-respect :-(
Rgds,
