Yesterday was drain day. Now, usually when I have a drain for every 3 litres I get a drip for a bottle of albumin. I was told this is to protect your kidneys and prevent your blood pressure dropping. Yesterday they told me that there’s a national shortage of blood products and that they were only prescribing 1 bottle of albumin for every 5 litres drained. Now my kidneys are in good shape and my blood pressure is also good so it doesn’t affect me much but I had a google and bloody hell we are low on everything and there are alert warnings and rations in place for all blood products especially type O.
So here’s the link if you can spare an hour and a pint of blood or plasma or platelets or all three the please sign up and donate. You’ll save lives and they give you a cup of tea and a biscuit.
