The Gift of Life
My grandmother is the most wonderful woman in the world. No contest. Don’t even bother nominating your grandmother, wife, mother or sister in the comments, the debate is over, my Nan wins.
She went in for her 2nd knee replacement this week, a week earlier than scheduled as there was an opening. Normally Z goes to see my mom on Mondays, but since Nan was in surgery, mom would be with her. My grandmother actually wanted to apologize to Z because she was taking a day with his Nana away from him. Are you kidding me?
The point of the story is my grandmother is kind, generous, loving, and kicks all kind of ass (in the beautiful, gentle, heartfelt way).
She was given blood during her surgery, and needed another 2 units after to get her motor up and running full steam.
If you give blood, thank you. Thank you for giving the greatest woman in the world the gift of life.
If you don’t give blood, why not? I’ve been advised it’s not the best thing for me to do while I’m in the midst of my Team Diabetes Disney World training, so I will be heading down in mid-January after my event to top up the supplies.
The Blog According to Buzz. Spread the word, ya heard?
Buzz, I wish your Grannie all the best of health .
After I was diagnosed with diabetes 25 plus years ago , I was devistated to learn ,that I could not donate blood anymore. I had reached 36 donations and started the process of donating blood in the Netherlands before emigrating to Canada .
Another reason blood donations are not accepted , as far as I know , is when the donor has reached a certain age …is it over 65 ?? Two people in this house hold UNABLE to donate .You seem to have a young audience , so go for it people !!
