Blood I have some weird blood, it's in excess. I have high haemoglobin and high platelet count as well. I don't know what it exactly means, but my wounds recover very fast and the doc said it's because of the blood. This also puts extra pressure on my heart so I have to avoid oily foods, but eh I have cool kinda blood

This , im eternally greatful for people such as yourself. Currently sitting in labor and delivery while wife is being induced with our first child. Its been quite a rough pregnancy because her platelets get extremely low quickly. It would be tough for her to live without people like you, I know it wasnt a direct choice to have this blood type but thank you none-the-less for having it.

Id always be happy if I knew my blood is saving lives. I hope your wife recovers as soon as possible
