Blood donation
mrcharly-YHT:
First time back for years.
Not much changed, apart from using a wierd swipey thing to clean your arm.
Blimey! I don't remember the needle hurting like that!
I *definitely* don't remember getting 'blowback' round the needle. Nope, blood donation sessions didn't involve blood running down my arm before.
Moloko:
Bah! No chance of a "blowback" at my blood drop-in.
You'd be lucky to even get a cup of tea and a poxy digestive out of them.
CommuteTooFar:
Well done for doing it. At my place of work (15 people) I am the only one who is willing to donate. (One is forbidden due to health reasons). Unfortunately the last 5 times the vampires have stopped locally I have had a cold. I think it is not a coincidence that the office installed air conditioning around the same time.
mrcharly-YHT:
I used to be a frequent donor. Stopped when I started cycling so much, as it always takes me a while to recover.
So this was my 23rd donation (but the 19th on their records; records used to be regional).
I'm going to look into blood component donation. Should have less of an impact on my health than whole blood.
Wowbagger:
They don't want mine and I don't care!
