I'm a wimp with pain but always give blood. People think it's loads worse than it is. The worst bit is when they ***** your finger at the beginning but the cup of tea and biccies makes up for it!
Also a very useful basic health check. Never knew my blood pressure was so high 'till they told me when I went to give blood (after getting my silver badge).
Could easily have saved me getting a stroke or something. Very useful 6 monthly check and blood test.
Got a nice little card from NBS today thanking me for donating thrice in the last year. I can claim a commemorative coaster next time I go, probably in January afetr New Years' Eve alcohol content has died down.
A nice warm, glowy feeling on a not so warm and glowy day.
I have given blood for years . Don't like the thought of it every time I go but after, think why was I bothered ? and feel good that I did. It is such a good cause but can understand why people don't as its the thought of it rather than the doing.
