Lt Kije Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have been giving blood for years, it doesn't hurt, it takes about half an hour, and it good to give, it really does save lives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffrey Settle Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I remember the first time that I gave blood. I was working in Burnley and the lads convinced me that it wouldn't hurt a bit. I'd also been practicing yoga so I could relax easily. Â I took my copy of Athletics Weekly to read and lay down to relax. Â I didn't feel a thing but ten minutes later the nurse came up and asked if I would put a small block of wood in my hand and squeeze. Â I was so relaxed that the blood was hardly coming out at all. I did what she asked and it poured out. Â I had a nice cup of tea and a biscuit and finished reading my magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
langara Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I've always been scared of giving blood as I have a bit of a phobea of neddles but a friend convinced me to suck it up when they came to work about 4 years ago, the idea of an hour paid off work clinched it! Â I went out to the van, filled in all the paper work lay down looking out the window and not at the huge needle they were going to put in my arm. Five minutes later the guy gave up, he couldn't find a vain! So even when I do pluck up the courage to give blood they can't get at it!

Geoffrey Settle Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Just got my reminder for the Pyramid blood donation session in August. As my step mother is drawing some out to day for her treatment I'd better put some back into the system to replace what she takes out as soon as I can.
