This afternoon I'm donating platelets again, for the first time in over 5 years. It feels good to be able to do this again. I csn't donate as much money to good causes as I would like to, but I can do this.
It's a slightly odd experience having your blood removed and then pumped back in. Especially as the blood is slightly cool when it comes back.

Good to be back again donating plasma and platelets. Had to take a break for a few months due to travel. #PlateletDonation #PlasmaDonationn #Plasma #Platelets #BloodDonor

Disappointingly my #PlateletDonation days have come to an end. I have been telephoned by #NHSBloodAndTransplant to tell me that my #platelet count is too low. My count normally averages 4.8, but the donation on Thursday was only 2.0, the third in a row of counts, so that is it. I will still be able to give whole blood, and my A Rh- is usually in demand, so that's something.
