If you are having surgery and may need a transfusion you can have your blood drawn for your use if needed. My husband had kidney surgery last year and the Dr. spoke of this as an alternative if we wanted it before he talked about the surgery. My husband also had this done for his hip replacement 3 months ago. Luckily we have the same blood type so we are each other’s “go to”. Maybe we will start donating plasma in retirement for vacation $!
