Unhappy Sadly

I can't give here in FL. I donated every 4 months for as long as I can remember in TX. Here, they told me that since I have a coronary stent, I can't without my doctor's approval. He said, "No", because it puts a strain on the heart. Never heard that before, but since he won't give the ok, I can't do it. I would still love to do it and encourage anyone who can to do so. As KathieI said, it doesn't hurt and does so much good.
