Forester321 Generosity overpowers greed. - Bryce Courtenay

donate five gallons of blood (read all 5 entries…)

I tried :/

I went to the blood drive fully hydrated and ready. I never made it through the first pint. I started to feel lightheaded and nauseous. I’m a tall, thin guy with low blood pressure who knows when there is trouble. The staff got my head down and feet up so I never lost consciousness, but it voided my donation :(

Progress remains at two pints total. I’ll try again in the fall.

I’m sorry, that’s frustrating. I just did the same thing the other day. Glad to know you’re not giving up either!

Thank you...

...I appreciate it.

I’ve had problems a few times and had hoped the fluid replenishment of a double donation would avoid this. I guess not.

Try, try, again

Spatz .☆.☆.What a wonderful life.☆.☆.

So sorry

Donating blood with a low blood pressure is difficult!

So great that you want to try again!
