Irony

Tuesday, my doctor tells me to “take it easy” and not over-exert myself until we get a diagnosis/drug regimen worked out for me.
Wednesday, I get a very polite letter from the Red Cross, begging me to sign up for apherisis because I am one of the 50% of donors who test negative for some antibody I have never heard of. They desperately need me to do apherisis, and to do it soon, before I get exposed to the virus and develop those antibodies. (You can be exposed without getting sick, apparenlty.)
But I can’t, because I’m supposed to be “taking it easy.”
What will be even more ironic is if, in a couple weeks, I get permission from my doc to do the donation and then it turns out I’ve been exposed to the virus in question and developed those antibodies.
