But there is more trouble in ToyLand.

I almost didn't get to donate blood. AND I BLAME GIA!!!

They do a physical exam first. As part of the exam they stick your finger and drop a drop of blood into some kind of liquid. For some reason my drop hung for a second before it's usual float to the bottom.

The took another drop for a more detailed test. According to WebMD, normal iron for men is 12.5-31.3 micromoles per liter. I was in the 14s. So, all was well in terms of donating. But, I was heading to anemia!!

What had I changed in my diet that could explain a loss of Fe??

I had stopped, for the most part, eating red meat!!!

DAMN THE GIA!!!
