A Cold, and Blood

ndrosenI've had a cold the past few days; I think I'm now recovering, but we'll see how it goes.
I donated blood Friday morning, when I was feeling well, and then Saturday evening I called and left a message, identifying my donation number, and saying that I now had a raspy throat. (There were instructions to let them know within 48 hours if one felt ill, so it may be that the blood is kept for that long before actually being transfused into anyone else.) I hope I didn't pass on a cold via my well-intentioned donation.
