1. What blood group are you?
A positive

2. Do you give blood? Why/why not?
I do, well I have twice. I'm not sure I'm going to again anytime soon though, because I nearly fainted last time, and I don't think I'm really heavy enough, so I think I need to wait until I weigh a bit more.

3. Are you listed as an organ doner? Again, why/why not?
Yes. I'm not

hey sam!

the first time i did it i was fine, it was a bit :S cos it took long and the woman had to keep stroking my arm but i just felt a tiny bit light headed...

the last time was about a week ago and i didn't think i wud be nervous/squeamish but i must've been, because i felt light headed before they even put the needle in, then as she was taking it out i went rly funny, they put cold cloths on my head and stuff and fanned me and put my feet in the air...bit embarassing!

then about ten minutes later my friend nearly fainted too - we ended up staying so long they were packing up around us :S

hope you're good! x

woah becca!!! glad u survived.. do they always have to take out so much blood each time? i've never done it before but i would like to!

[becca_claire]

lol - i assume they have to! that's why u have to weigh over a certain amount...ahem, i weighed myself the day before, i was spot on :S

they probably will come to ur uni/college at some point if you wanted to do it?

[becca_claire]

i know - i'm not exactly good at keeping up on livejournal am i?!

i am good thanks, hope u are too :)!x

i second bekah's 'woah becca!'

forget aboot embarassing that must have been bloody scary!

glad ur ok!

and bekah, go give blood, it's very fulfilling...unless ur iron count is low and u cannie donate, thats just downright irritating.

lol - has that happened to you before sam??

[lotr_fan]

well the first time i went the woman tested my iron levels the liquid way...if-the-blood-didnt-float-to-the-bottom-i-was-low one...and it said i was low

so they did another test and i was ok

collers was low however :(

do u have 2 accounts now becca?

btw: im not on msn coz it's too distracting, i have so much work to do! look at me now...chatting thru lj! *slaps self*
