I Donated Blood Today

[jono]

my being in hospital for 2 weeks changed my opinions of them
lumbar punctures and bone marrow samples ARE NOT FUN.

[Darren]

I got the same blood as TLH - first donated shortly after turning 16 with a parental consent, but have fallen by the wayside in recent years...

Always good to give a pint the day of a big nightout, less blood in the veins leaves room for more alcohol

[tragic]

Excellent work, Jess

I haven't given blood in ages... they don't like it when you take aspirin within a week prior, but nothing works as well as aspirin!

I actually got refused my cup of tea once She said I looked pale and about to faint. That's exactly why I need that cuppa!!!! I wouldn't have said no to a Guinness, though

Oh, and I really, really hate needles. Just look away and think of something else, jono. It's over before you know it.

[jono]

or, just dont give blood at all.

er thats not cool, lots of people need it

What bugs me about giving blood is you have to be in the metro area to do it.
There use to be a mobile van that toured the country areas so people could donate blood, however the funding was cut and that was the end of it.

Well done to all those who can do it and do

wasnt personal jono, people should be encouraged to help where possible is all.......not a fan of drips meself, when i was a young'un in hospital with pneumonia the nurse shoved the needle in the wrong spot and it went through a muscle in me arm and caused a few problems and a lot of pain then pulled the needle out and did it again, got icecream and painkillers for a couple of days after that, dont fear needles though....good times, good times

Fair cop jono, each to their own in my opinion.

It's something that i've thought about but haven't got around to it.

I reckon if you can't donate blood, sign up for being an organ donor!

[jono]

done.
and i start my SES training as soon as i get the all clear about my knee.
and i renewed my senior first aid a few weeks ago out of my own pocket.

[Jess]

Do it Jargs. Come with me in June and we can keep eachother company and enjoy the free pizza.

unfortunately they don't want my organs either.

and I could put something in here about my organ and mrs dog but I'm not the sort to sink to that level of smut

[jargan83]

mmmmm i am a fan of pizza

[JediKnight]

sorry. but i'm bever giving blood.
i cannot stand needles.
i have immense respect for everyone who does it. but i cant bring myself to do it.
i would rather get the flu than get a flu shot every year

HTFU!!!
