Donate Blood 2 of 5

29.B. Donate blood 5 more times
Donation number 2 of 5
May 22, 2013

My blood is always pretty slow.  Last time I was there they had a new system, which slowed down the donation time even more.  I think it was about 17 minutes.

They told me that if I double my water intake, that will help.  So, I did.  I drink a lot of water to begin with, so this was kind of overdoing it.  I drink roughly one 500ml glass of water per hour.  I doubled this for the 2 days before my donation.  I almost floated away!

My new time was still pretty long at about 12 minutes, but cutting it by 5 minutes seems pretty good to me.

I guess we'll see what happens next time.
