Keep up your nefarious DM antics Peter, and I'll make sure you donate blood.
All over the walls.
I'm O+ which is fine, but O- would be way cooler. I used to donate regularly, but now everytime I have been they tell me my hemoglobin is puny and to go eat a steak.
It's the only thing that makes me queasy. Anything to do with veins or arteries, particularly in the arm. Just thinking about it makes me cringe, and Charley's comment about racing others to fill up their bags made me feel ill for a moment. If I had to give blood, I'd end up on the floor.
My mom worked at the Red Cross for years and I grew up around blood drives.
At least I didn't tell you about the one needle stick I had that went wrong
I haven't given blood but I've had IVs and I'm always bruised up for DAYS afterward. When I went to the hospital when having Owen the nurses tried about six times to get me started and then had to call in the anesthesiologist to do it (he got it into the back of my hand). That was because I was very dehydrated from a full day of not eating and drinking very little.
Usually there's no problem finding a vein, I just bleed a lot.
ack didn't see second page.
Funny thing - platelets it don't matter what it is because there are no antigens so if you need those, all good. I donate those regularly but haven't since i gave birth but I will soon enough
