Good news for those that lived in the UK. Your blood is no longer unclean.

There's actually a blood drive here in the next few weeks I think.


HUZZAH!

What could possibly go wrong.

So I just spend the last half hour hanging over the edge of the sofa slowly pushing dreamies treats towards new cat with a stick. I got her to eat 2 of them which is a big success. Slow and steady is tough.

Ted_YNWA

Slowly getting there Molly

I wouldn't know, I've had toxic blood up until this point

Ted_YNWA

iirc, the biccies aren't great.

I fainted after the last time I donated, so off the list.

If you go to the one in Stillorgan they have more crisps, chocolate bars and orange juice than one human can consume. I know because I've tried

Think ones in the shticks don't need appointments :pac:

Sure only 5 people actually live in Leitrim don't ya know

They give you custard creams and miwadi orange in Belfast. And in keeping with current threads, Custard Creams are my favourite biccie. I've shamefully not donated in years. They're organising a blood drive in work last I heard so I'll pop along to that.

I have tried at least 4 times to give blood. Veins just won't give it up

Good on you for trying a few times

I'm the opposite, once they put the tourniquet on my veins jump out. They could throw the needle from a metre away and hit one!

kitten_k

In the hospital they find it very hard to get my veins, usually end up having to go in through my hand. I assume this would be the same for donating - would that be an issue?

Same for me so unlikely you’ll be able to donate (needle for donating is a good bit larger), but well worth trying as you never know.

kitten_k

Thanks will get this op out of the way and then see

fixXxer

Well once they get the needle in to me I'm always done in less than 6 minutes :smug:

What do you do for the last 4?

Pretzill

I haven't given blood in years. So this brought me to the Eligibility Quiz which I had temporarily failed and then the FAQ shows me that I cannot give blood anymore

4?

I'm in there for 15 to 20 minutes. No problem finding a vein but my blood does not want to leave my body.

It's SO BORING! And very sad when people just walk in, give it up and leave as I'm still sitting there.

Awkward small talk usually while they check my blood pressure to make sure I'm not about to die.

kitten_k

Just had a look at the FAQ, can’t donate until I have been signed off by the hospital after my op. Will look into it again next year.

Necro

Just got a pre-offer for a transfer back to Sligo

So long shift work WOOOO

Harvest moon tonight (if this was Walrus I'd link to Neil Young here) got a photo, real close up which I'm hoping worked, I could nearly see the man on it.
