Yeah, that'd be wonderful. That makes me feel better, so thank you. :)

I'm also thinking about doing plasmapheresis-- That's where they separate the blood after taking it out of you and return the plasma to your body, and you can do that every week since the body can regenerate the red blood cells (and whatever else they keep) very quickly. It takes longer, though, and you have to go to one of their permanent clinics to do it. Fortunately, there's a permanent clinic on my bus route. Anyway, I'm not sure if I got the details on plasmapheresis right, so if anyone knows better, please feel free to correct me.

No, I think you're right. I was at the Red Cross website today, and I read something about that. It wasn't very specific, though, but I'm sure you're right. That's not a bad idea, either...hopefully I'll be able to give some someday. I don't want to balloon out or anything (lol), but as long as I reach the minimum weight thing, I'll be happy.
