donate blood regularly

Here we can donate every 58 days. Since my first time in march, I donated again today. I made this a goal to remind myself to donate again in august, and continue to save lives as much as i can. I’m also type O, so I’m a universal donor. If that isn’t a good enough reason to donate, i don’t know what is!

I hit my head a few weeks ago on the corner of a metal cabinet at work (long story, but was trying to get to someone’s PC tower…and they had it way way under their desk… stood up too quickly and boom!) Anyway my head bled and it made me remember something. That I do want to start giving blood more. Or regularly. Not from my head. But lol I want to go..I wish they came to our office like they used to because it would much easier to do.

I went on Tuesday and forgot to write it in!

So the next time I am able to go will be the 26th September.

Well, first I will need to know if proficiency in spoken Danish is truly required. If so, I’d have to put it on hold for some time ;)

ive donated once. it was in febuary this year and in england you can only donate once every four months. after ive donated about 4 times ill consider this goal achieved, and ill try to keep it up.

i love the thought that i could be saving lives by sitting down for 15 minutes while the blood drains, the service was good and the nurses were nice, and then i got tea and biscuits wich just topped the whole thing off for me lol.

men who donate blood and dont bruise or have problems can donate platelets, wich are used for cancer patients and and other things, i think once ive given blood a few times im going to donate platlets.

you can help so many people by doing some thing so simple, and it could always be you or your loved ones who need these donations.

There’s no reason I shouldn’t be able to do this every four months as the place I go is open every day and is local to me. So that’s what I’m aiming to do.

I’m taking medication that leaves me borderline anemic. If/when I get off the med, I’ll try this again.

I’ve donated twice before. I’ve found the experience more uncomfortable than painful and it’s well worth the discomfort. I’m looking forward to donating again.

It sort of scares me… but I should definitely do it!

This is something that I used to do, but stopped when we moved house a year or so ago. I’ve just found out that I can donate on Thursdays, so will start in the next couple of weeks.
