The great thing is, the Club Red activity can go on all year I donate whole blood every three months and have just started donating plasma. Every donation you do counts towards the club red tally, just make sure you let them know to add it in

[luke gtr]

mrs and I just donated tonight.

I was done in 6.5 minutes.

faster then last time.

mrs took a while.

and got light headed, so had to lay down.

My blood donation has been put "on hold" until I get an "all clear" from the Dr and specialist about a former papilloma tumour - either that or get a Gardasil vaccine. I think I'll opt for the latter.

Did you eat and drink enough beforehand Luke?

[luke gtr]

yeah.

honestly, giving blood hasnt really affected me so far.

I dont drink as much water as they want you to beforehand.

and I didnt have that much to eat.

felt fine.

wife had food and water and got light headed.

think I was born to give blood.

When I went dizzy, the doc said that it was caused by the blood rushing to my balls in a preservation mode. and this action starved my head of blood.

So, in this theory:

Your wife has yours in her hand bag. She went dizzy cause her body tried to preserve your nuts.

If you don't get dizzy you don't have anything to preserve.

note: Above mentioned doc may or may not be a real doc or person for that matter.

[luke gtr]
