Blood donation

No donation today. I had red meat five of the last six days. What more can I do?

Liver, apparently. 8-25 mgs of iron per 3 oz compared to 3 mgs of iron for a hamburger patty. I'm almost out of ideas. I guess I need to run the red-meat regimen for two weeks instead of one. I'll have plenty of time to plan; due to failing the iron test, I'm deferred for three months. I will be eligible on Feb. 23.

Blood donation

Unless someone corrects me, I believe donating blood can reduce one’s weight by one pound. It certainly reduces one’s blood pressure as the donation reduces the fluid level in a closed system. (Always a good idea to reduce blood pressure, gentlemen.) You can link to an online appointment here.
