Number 26

Yesterday I checked my iron levels from a vein sample rather than the finger prick. It was 133 which is far better than the last reading of 112. I’ve not been able to donate for a a few months whilst my iron was low, but I’m back on track now. I donated today at the end of the afternoon session. I had been drinking water all morning and I was swishing with it all.

Alice did my needle, although she was a bit nervous as she hadn’t stabbed a colleague before. It all went well. My best time is four minutes and nineteen seconds, but I was nowhere near that today as it took just over ten minutes. I’m slacking in my old age!
