I went to give blood AND THEY TURNED ME AWAY! It's awful when you're in such bad shape that they don't even want the red stuff. I'm not contagious, I just have too many "defects". I'd offer my organs after death, but they'd just throw them back.
I work for a large federal government agency, 700 odd people in this office and yes, I mean ODD, so the blood sucking agency in Dall ass looks at us like a drug crazed addict looks at a pinata filled with coke. We get 2 hours time off for a successful donation and 1 hour for an unsuccessful one. So there is incentive of doing it except for three things.
1) why do they send trainees to the large agency's like ours. They screw up your left arm, they have to switch to the right and after one bad donation decades ago I never get anything put into my right arm. Surgery and the like, screw up the left arm, go for the neck not the right arm. 2) I am an ex cancer dude, so they say, no, we dont want it. 3) I hate needles that dont need to be there.
So I encourage you to do it, make the gallon five-gallon, ten gallon club.
Good on you! Drink all of the juice.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
ReplyDeleteDo it as often as you can!
a warning would have been helpful. I passed out and hit my head on the corner f the end table. I'm bleeding, can they collect that?
ReplyDeleteYou go, girl.
ReplyDeleteEwwww...I can handle needles.

ReplyDeletePeople who give blood are HEROES to me as I am totally a "needle-a-phoeb". God bless you!!
