Blood Donation Time

[blind_elk]

Nurse Debbie just called ... again. Next donation is scheduled for 24 June, but no appointments are available until 15 July.

I'm finding it too stressful arranging group bookings, but if we can get the numbers, I'm happy to do it. Or should we just let it ride that you guys organise yourselves to get your donations done in your own time.

Anyone else interested in joining in - it would be a Sunday morning at Southbank donor centre (cnr Kavanagh & Balston Sts).

In for my quarterly milkshake fix.

Will remember to drink more water this time - save them trying to suck my vegemite-esque claret out...

[HotPlates]

Arghh I hate needles! Not for me sorry. I feel bad though

[blind_elk]

For those interested (or even care), I gave blood today, and my BP was down to 130/80.

Now, who else is going to get involved in this worthwhile project.

Good on you Greg, glad to see you back in there and BP back to normal

i am currently looking at going interstate that week so will have to confirm/deny when tickets etc have been sorted.

if im free, lets hope it's not a hat trick for missing my viens!

You should feel bad!!!! If you go with your mates, it'll be over in no time and you'll think that you're an idiot afterwards for putting it off for so long!!!

Give it a go!

Not that I've done it, but they won't let me as I'm from the UK

[Roy]

Well i have been doing a bit more exercise and cleaned up the lifestyle a little so hopefully they dont black list me if my BP etc is still high

I've got some of my meds left over if you want to try-before-you-buy

[mid life crisis]

im on so much pain meds my blood would prob turn the recipcent into a drug addict

[blind_elk]

Ok, I've made a booking. I expect 8 people to show up and donate blood from 10:10am on Sunday 29 July at the Southbank donation centre.

All those wishing to inundate me with offers to attend should do so to: [email protected]

It is now possible to book your next donation when you give this donation, so I shouldn't have to stress myself about organising these days again.

Yeah... you can't donate blood while you're pregnant... I had to call them up to check when I was pregnant too !

[Roy]

Ok. so count me in. Im a picutre of health so far this month. Need to make it to the end of June so that i can rule at the Go-karts at my new race weight of 90kgs

[STATUS]

i will do anything..... but needles......fkn freaks me out...... broke a few in my arm when i was younger...

hats off to those who do for sure.

[sammus]

hey guys

they're pretty desperate

so i'm just ganna go and do it at my local one soon instead of waiting for this to be organised

also, i challenge everyone to haemoglobin battle! ask them what your level is when they test you with the pinprick at the start. the old lady was mighty impressed with my potent young blood last time

[adam-__-]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering, how old do you have to be to give blood? And is it ok to give blood if you have a low blood pressure?
