I attemped to donate blood today @ work...I was told first that my pulse was over a hundred beats....after resting for ten minutes...the second tech took my pulse manually (without the cuff). I was then told that my heart beat had skipped 6 times;then 4 times after I requested taken again. Please pray for my wife who is having a minor surgery in a couple of weeks and for myself whom will have to care for her during her recovery. D. Kane
