^^ Kinda have to, as my iron count would delay me a day anyhow. I was going to go for two weeks, make it the next Saturday they were open so I wouldn't be operating heavy machinery (school bus totally counts, yes?) the next day, but I've actually got bus-related class on 9/27, so it'll be four weeks. If I'm not better by then, I'll probably need to see a doctor :/
Other reason not to give blood while sick: my blood will probably have any pathogens I'm fighting in it, and considering blood transfusions will go to patients already weak themselves... Yeah. Just as well, all told, yes. I still want to donate, though! DD:
X3 No raging mobs here; apparently we won, yay? But yes, I was terribly amused for some reason.
