JerryK Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I gave last month. Im a guy who only drinks one beer in an evening, so the day I give blood is always extra special. The day of the last drive, I had to go to a cub scout meeting. By the time I could get home my stupid marrow had done its job and ruined everything.

slats Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I gave last week. I'm a great guy and my company gives half days off for donating. But mostly, I'm a great guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I don't give blood. Mainly because I don't know where I have been. So not giving seems like the responsible thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneStarLady Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Someone close to me needs regular transfusions because of a marrow problem. So thanks to all of you who donate blood. It really does make a difference in people's lives. You all rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebabyny Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 With my lymphoma cancer history I honestly don't know if I can or could give blood. Plus, with the company I am keeping these days in fl I probably shouldn't be looking to spread anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 the new york blood center is cutting their rewards program severely just received a letter from them basically saying they don't want to give out much anymore, so points are being reduced a lot and they'll confiscate them if you're inactive, etc. This is being implemented in June. I've never cashed out my points, but I do have a lot. I'll donate maybe twice before the change if I can, and then cash out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I donated platelets today. It was supposed to be red blood cells as well, but the lady apparently wasn't listening when I said so. I'll go back soon and make sure they do it next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon63 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I would give blood, but I haven't been allowed to the past 2 years cause of surgery (they have a rule or something that won't let me). Never understood how some people have passed out from giving blood, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war ensemble Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Never understood how some people have passed out from giving blood, though. They're squeamish/frail/dehydrated or something like that? I don't pass out, but I can certainly understand why others would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from my experience, they give you food and water before. Honestly, I didn't even feel slightly dizzy or anything after I gave blood, and went to football practice like 30 minutes later. And this was when I was only 185, so it wasn't that I was a gargantuan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon63 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 A bad blood tech can lead to serious queasiness. Yeah, that's true. But it could also be because I'm not skinny at all (265-270 right now, gonna try and push to 300 over summer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have me beat by more than a hundred pounds already, so that's probably why I can more easily relate with the queasy people, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've gone up and down these past few years (low of 185, high of 275), but once I tore 2 ACLs and realized I now wasn't fast enough to play MLB, and I had to play OL, I bulked up.
