I went in this morning to donate, but I got a hemoglobin deferral—my iron was too low. It was 11.9 instead of the 12.5 that the Red Cross requires. I would be allowed to go to a drive tomorrow, but I’m going to wait a while. There’s a drive on the twenty-fourth and another on the twenty-seventh. Maybe I’ll try one of those.

Edit: I’m going to wait to try again until I see my doctor in February. It’s not my idea, but I’ll go along with it. That’s not too much longer to wait.
