Hey everybody! Now that I have your attention.....

I just got home from the hospital, and my surgery has been postponed until next Tuesday. I'm a bit of a bleeder and currently, there is a critical blood shortage in the US and Canada. Since there isn't enough blood to go around, I've donated blood for myself in case I need it next week. If I don't need it, it'll be donated to the general population when I'm done. I'm lucky in that my surgery is not critical. But there are people out there with critical surgical needs who are being postponed because of the shortage. If you are currently able, please consider donating blood for those in need. I know it's time consuming and kinda painful and makes you woozy, but it's only a few hours of your time every 8 weeks. I've found that it gets easier as you go along.

Thank you.

Amen, sister snowy!

Folks, I was a regular blood donor for many years, until I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Got a couple of gold drop pins from the Red Cross along the way.

Blood donation is one of the best ways to support your community. Please give. It means a lot!

YIK,

To find a place to donate call 1 888 GIVE LIFE.

They won't take blood from me. I've recieved blood, and I'm anemic. *sigh* I used to give blood regularly. I think I'll suggest to the Family Support Group of the National Guard that maybe we can have a blood drive one of these weekends. Hm . . . .
 
Has anyone else noticed that Snowy is just as sweet as can be? I'd like to give her a nice, warm, ooey gooey chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven!

In Denmark you have to go 3 months between donating.

That's my situation as well. I used to donate, but also had to stop once I got diagnoses with type 2. I managed to donate a bit more than 25 times before I stopped which earned me a silver pin.
 
I actually just found out today that there is a small girl in Toronto that requires a partial Liver transplant. Apparently the doctors just need a tiny section of a healthy liver to use and it grows back in the donor within a few weeks, so there is no loss of health on their part either.

Kinda makes you think how cool the human body is when you can swap things like blood or organs to those who need it without any harm coming to you.
 
Once I know WTF my body is doing I'll be scedualing (I know that's not the right spelling there, it can't be) with the place at the base hospital. There was a briefing on our inprocessing about it, but I wasn't listening. Something about some of the places off base using the blood only privately and not sharing in places of need or something...again, I didn't pay attention. D and I would like to get back into being regular donars again. It's important. I also just found out that I can set my baby up as an organ donar so if something happens and I lose him I can gift his organs to needy babies and give them a second chance at life. It's not a happy thought to lose a baby, but now if it happens he can help others. I need a tissue now.
 
Good people

See and who says the kinky folk are selfish?

I have been able to donate once in my life. I did it for a friend. It is very good to see how caring people can be.

Thanks. I never thought I'd get so emotional about someone's life...now I can't watch the intro to Finding Nemo without getting all teary. I think it's a parent's worst nightmare to lose a child. I can't imagine that level of grief.

Steel Magnolias is my favorite movie but I haven't been able to watch it since my nephew died. That part where M'Lynn is screaming 'why? I can run from her to texas but my daughter can't. She never could, I just want to know WHY?'

I think I'd want to die if I lost one of my children. I wouldn't, cuase I've got others to take care of, but I'd want to. My sister in law had a nervous breakdown after Jonathan died.

I've never seen Steel Magnolias...hmm. My greatgrandmother lost her brother when she was just a kid to a kidnapping murdurer. They got him back in a pieces. So in turn my grandmother was very controlling about kids going anywhere alone. We weren't allowed in the front yard without her even when we were older.
 
My daughter donates blood regularly. They in fact, call her to remind her that it's time again. She has "baby blood" - special blood that is used for transfusioning newborns.

Recently, she was called and told that her blood had saved a little life.

She makes me proud in countless ways. This is just one of them.

Many people don't realise that kids can have their say on organ donation.

Both my sons were card carriers from around 5 years old, of course they could not comprehend the actual reality of what it meant, but had something happened at least I knew they would have liked the idea of helping someone.

In the UK we have a donar register, every time I move I let them know my new address.
This means in the event of my death they have my wishes on record making it an easier conversation on those who actually have to sign the forms and make the decisions.

As for giving blood, I hold up my hand and confess I have never done this.
I planned to years ago but all kinds of stuff prevented it, however in the past few years I have had no excuse.....

I feel very guilty now ....
 
I'm not eligible to donate blood myself, although I volunteered for the Red Cross quite a bit in years past.

To be honest, my feelings are currently mixed. I do find it discriminatory that gay and bisexual men are not allowed to donate blood, even if they have proof of a clean HIV test. Some lie and donate anyway, but some don't want to lie and therefore don't get to donate. The fact that they won't even accept proof of cleanliness/safe sex practices is why it's discriminatory...there's no reason why an HIV- gay man shouldn't be able to donate!

That said, though, our nation's hospitals need blood. And I do encourage those who are eligible to donate.

I'm not real sure how it works in the US, but I'm pretty sure when a kid dies they just ask the parent then and their. I could be wrong but I think my sister in law let them have the few organs that were worth donating on her son.

That's the best kinda blood there is! She's an overachiever.... :rose:

hugging and groping all you wonderful peeps!
 
Etoile- I think the discrimination is wrong too. It's like they still believe that gay men are the only people who get HIV.
