Donating Blood?

[Urca]

Im always down to donate blood, since I have the most common blood type, I can help lots of people. Ive donated twice, but the last time meant alot to me... My friend died of cancer and my school had a blood drive to help repay her blood bill, since she used so much blood that it cost quite a bit of money. Anyway, gonna donate this saturday, and im kinda excited, even though it scars my arm everytime, its for a great cause!

I am a scheduled donor of blood, double reds, and platelets...what ever they need for my blood type. My oldest son donates. He has wanted to for years when he could not for being too young. We give because we can, no other reason.

I would donate more often, but I dont drive and getting to the donation center sucks ass, but fortunately for me, I got a card in the mail from the blood bank saying that there is a blood drive at the church up the street from my house, so I would absolutely love to donate... except i bruise and scar everytime i do

thats nice of u urca. i dont donate

 

[Urca]

I dont mind, since it doesnt hurt at all. Plus, i think of people like my friend who need other people's blood to stay alive...

 

[beardo]

they told me I would be in big trouble if I ever donate blood again.

 

[Urca]

why is that?

 

[medicalmaryjane]

i was always too skiny to donate, then iwas anemic. my body jst wont allow for that unfortunately...

 

[canuckgrow]

I do not sonate either...Not after the blood scandals of the 90's around here LOL

 

[Sr. Verde]

i feel like if someone used my blood they would get really f****** up of that shit

 

[Urca]

hey, if your body wont allow it then thats fine, shit even if your scared of needles thats fine... I just think everybody who can should donate just once, so that they give the gift of life... and lol at beardo's signature, im flattered

They wouldn't take my blood. They don't want druggie blood.

 

[beardo]

I sold blood so I could get vodka and then a couple weeks later they called me to go in to see the doctor and I was worried and then he said I have hepititas C and I was happy because I figured it was going to be that or aids-they don't call you back after giving blood to ask if you want to smoke a blunt, it's usually bad news. They said I can't sell blood anymore and I think I even signed some shit.

 

[Urca]

i smoke weed, and used needles to inject medication at one point... they still took my blood. then again I didnt mention using the needles either... speaking of which, I couldnt do heroin, just because needles bruise me too easily. I had to do it every day for 6 weeks in my tummy, and it turned it black and blue. shit hurts

i always joke that they wouldnt want my organs if i got killed in an accident. i dont have any donatable organ i dont think. falling apart lol.

lol well idk if they would use my heart or liver if i died tomorrow, since there are fat deposits problably, but, I would let them take everything else. My eyes, my skin, lungs, whatever they need. Im being cremated anyway, so why not? I give my body so that others can live. what greater gift is there?

 

[medicalmaryjane]

i dont know. i don't think id want a new organ. how about a humane death?

 

[Urca]

humane death??? idk what that is, but for those who want a new organ, they can have mine when I am done. I wont need it

 

[DelSlow]

They asked me if I used drugs (which is silly because everyone uses drugs) and I said yes ma'am. She said they don't take blood from people who use. Complications could occur

 

[medicalmaryjane]

u will b old by then, probably wont have any good organs either. they can have my failed kidneys too. actually i doubt they would want them. a humane death is a physician assisted, death with dignity...
