No wonder you're so popular. I don't know what my CMV is though. But apparently my blood type is actually A+, not A-. This makes me unnaturally common (2nd most common type, just after O+). I feel less special now.grrrbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04070712215227643581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834495.post-1113954988765018022005-04-19T18:56:00.000-05:002005-04-19T18:56:00.000-05:00If blood storage costs get too high, maybe this co...If blood storage costs get too high, maybe this could be a viable alternative.

You'd think they'd have enough blood for him.<BR/><BR/>I'm fully expecting the Red Cross to call me constantly now that they know I'm here and a willing supply of O+/CMV- blood and blood components.

One of the things that Lifesource tells you right up front every time you donate is that you cannot specify how your blood is used because it's impossible for them to target a single donation for a specific use.
