Drinking lots of water. [View all]

Going to donate blood in a couple of hours.
Found out I have to stay hydrated. A couple of times they had problems finding a vein and keeping the blood flowing. Last time I made a point of drinking lots of water and what a difference.
Giving out free long sleeve tee shirt this week. They love me, I have O positive.
