Beef stew for breakfast tomorrow
Tomorrow, I donate blood for the first time since I left GreenLife. I'm a little nervous.
What if my iron's low again? What if my blood sugar's high? What if I contracted some sort of horrible disease that's been gestating in my system for eight months and has finally burst like a hideous pustule, flooding my veins in vileness and sickness and blood-rejectability?
Worse, what if I get so dehydrated or hypoglycemic that something awful happens?
Almost as bad, what if the people at the Cleveland blood bank are a bunch of incompetent nincompoops and do something awful like fuck up the blood-draw and end up causing the blood to spill over under my skin? I've heard that can happen. Leaves your entire arm bruised for quite a while--like weeks.
