I'm so hot!
Oh, yes, I am, indeed! What? You say I was overconfident? :-) well, I know that sometimes I tend to be like that but this time I meant it the right way. We are sweating like a horse, it is so hot here. This weather is completely abnormal, this past week it was over 40 Celsius ever day, today it was 42. The heat wave has arrived about three weeks ago and it is getting worse every day. Or maybe it is just us who cannot deal with it. On Thursday and Friday I almost passed out on the street due to lack of oxygen. Okay, it maybe had something to do with that I gave blood on Thursday - I was called up the previous morning, they needed my type of blood for a surgery. They say it is a rare type: B Rh -
I was like a lunatic after getting rid of almost 0.5 litre.
But the good side is that I got a paper which proves that it has been my 30th blood donation, so I do not have to pay "visit fee" which you normally pay for the doc or for the institution every time you go there (even if it is just a control check-up), and in case I needed to lay in a hospital, I do not have to pay the daily fee, which is the food, beddings and the basic nursing "services". Kewl.
Also, since I have this rare blood type (according to them) I volunteered to be a bone-marrow donor, in order to increase the survival chances of those who have the same blood type. Not sure tho that I will meet all the requirements. I was born with a liver disorder, which is basically that my old blood is being demolished slowly. In everyday life it does not mean any change, I just have to be careful with greasy food, I do not even have to take medication or such. But it is enough to defeat this aim of mine. We will see. I will be examined for it when I next time go and give blood again. In about 2-3 months if nothing happens.
It is good to know that others can also benefit from my body, not only me.
