#40thdonation

Donation #40. The 2nd for 2019 is done. And I was kinda sad that I didn't meet my yearly Quota of 4/year. . Either this year was just so tiring or jam packed that I missed out on 2 donations. Even my 1st for 2019 was late May. Couldn't possible fit in 2 more sessions in between.. . As usual:- nowadays I played safe by asking to do Hb test first before Medical Screening by Medical Officer; to ensure my iron level was within revised level of 13g/dL required of Male Donors. Luckily it's at 14.2g/dL- Phewww... . During donation preparation cleansing of cannulation site; nurse handed a box of iron tablets saying my level is on point but gotta go up more for future Donations. next Donation will be FEB 2020. . 40th Donation. Journey to Silver Champion Donor(50donations) milestone, is getting closer. . #40thDonation #2ndDonationQuota2019 #RedCross #SGRedCross #BloodDonationSG #Bloodbank #WoodlandsCivicCentre #PreRamadhanDonation #GiveBloodSaveLivesSG #HelpOtherPeopleLive #RegularBloodDonor #NationalBloodDonorProgramme #OPositive (at Bloodbank @ Woodlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HznT7Bt0c/?igshid=1ailzb0pmu21c

Donation #40. 2nd for 2019 is done. . I played safe by asking to do Hb test first before Medical Screening by Medical Officer; to ensure my iron level was within the level. . 1 of the nurse, Nyo Nyo Tun; came to Registration counter and immediately joked, "How much your level today?" Coz she knows sometimes I'm not able to proceed with donation coz of low Hb levels.. i answered, " Not sure. Register 1st then I'll do blood test before Medical screen by Doctor". She laughed and said must be positive.. Luckily it's at 14.1g/dL.. . I went to Donation Lounge:- She saw me and again teased, " Aahh.. today don't need U-turn go back. What you do that iron enough?" I said today over the required coz I'm at 14.1g/dL - 10points above 13g/dL required for Male donors. 😁😁😁. . During donation preparation cleansing of cannulation site; nurse handed a box of iron tablets saying my level is on point but gotta go up more for future Donations. . After donation as usual I'd ask for squeeze ball so I can scribe the date at back of it. And since its leading up to Singapore 54th Birthday:- donors are given Ez-Link cards. Yay!! So cute and useful. #40thDonation #2ndDonationQuota2019 #RedCross #SGRedCross #BloodDonation #Bloodbank #WestgateTower #GiveBloodSaveLives #HelpOtherPeopleLive #RegularBloodDonor #NationalBloodDonorProgramme #OPositive #OurBloodOurSingapore #SG54 (at Bloodbank@Westgate Tower) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0shcVMBaMB/?igshid=183vsvs9x8e51
