Hey, cool, I’m B-negative too! Good for you for donating — I’m like 3 months overdue and feeling guilty about it…

PS – But kudos for doing it – someone out there is very grateful : )

Ahhh, eww, I know, that actually totally disturbed me when I gave blood, too. I just didn’t like the reminder that it was leaving my body, yuck. I’m not a big fan of the whole needle / blood exiting the arm thing in general.

I recently had a cardiac echo, kind of like a ultasound of your heart. I was disturbed, more than disturbed, I was CREEPED OUT to actually see my heart pumping on the screen. I mean I know it pumps, it pumps all the time, but you just never really think about it ya know? I had a crazed panic moment of thinking “What if I actually see my heart stop?” Or even worse, “What if I see it do some crazy shit like skip a whole bunch of beats?” So I can sympathize about the blood thing.

That, and then it was a real chore to draw 5 *vials* — they literally gave up and bailed at 4, as I recall.

Hey Anna!

Good for you for donating blood! It’s good that you’re a “gusher”. At the hospital, the nurses poked me three times before admitting defeat and taking blood from my IV line. :)
