Auntie warned me...

When I began donating blood last year, I received a wonderful "Good for you!" email from my favorite Auntie. She told me of how she'd been giving for years and years...since her college days. She also mentioned that she was always so disappointed when the little finger prick blood test came back with a haemoglobin level too low to donate. Well, today my iron was too low, and I'm disappointed - just like Auntie said! I guess it was bound to happen at some point seeing it's pretty common in women, but, just like Auntie said, it is disappointing.
