I am truly honored. I hope every blood donation I gave was able to help save a life. I always wonder about how the recipients are doing, and what circumstances led them to need a life saving blood transfusion. The blood bank keeps all of that private for security reasons, of course, along with the name of the donors who donate. I just hope it all helped.
My blood bank has a separate donor reward list for platelets and plasma. They’re always in need of that, too. I can’t donate for that, though. I’m O-. They told me they want AB+ for either platelets or plasma, I think. I think my ex boyfriend said he used to donate for that. I think they take A+, too. It’s weird to be the universal whole blood donor type, but not be able to give to any other cause for donation (platelets or plasma).
