I've been giving blood since I was 21 (so for quite a few years then :- " ) & got my Gold award for 50 donations a few months ago.

I kept on nagging OH Neil about going too so now he gives as well

Luckily I've never needed any of it back :luck:

I've given several pints and received 9 units, thanks everybody.....but now they won't accept my blood for donation as I received blood before a certain date and they weren't testing for CJD then so I may be at slight risk of having MADCOW DISEASE in the future.............well that's something to look forward to isn't it (w00t) (w00t)

I will donate as soon as I can but at the moment I have terrible veins, they collapse just with a blood test lat alone a pint!!

I was quite pleased with them actually finding my veins, last time I was in hospital and having a blood test they took my shoes off to see if they could find a vein in my ankle after they struggled to find one in my arm or the back of my leg, eventually they got one in my hand.

This time the professionals found one in my arm after a few minutes, although they couldn't see it as it was so deep they had so much experience that just being able to feel it meant they could hit it straight away. :thumbsup:

Sounds like your veins are worse than mine!!

Right then, will have to try give some blood next time they come to my area, if they can get a pint from you they must be able to get one from me :lol:

I suppose they will be experts really as they are constantly doing it... we call them and the phlebotomists who spend all day taking blood, VAMPIRES!! :lol:
