I should send Chris to do it he has nice juicy veins :) I’d like to give blood especially to give back after all the blood tranfusions Zacky was given but considering how much trouble they have getting blood from me for a blood test will be a bit hard.

Just the warm fuzzy feeling we did something to help people. What's worse is I sent email blogs about what was going on at the time so there'd be something in the blog, but the blog didn't post it and just deleted my posts so you would not have known anything had been going on unless one of my friends posted a comment on the blog to say I was gone. Stupid software. I'm tempted to port it all over to Moveable Type or something else. WP is really shitting me. When you enter blogs via the website, you click on the WRITE POST link and it locks up internet explorer (all instances) until ie works out how to render the images and javascript on the page. This can take up to a minute or it may just completely lock up the computer and I have to kill IE to get things going again. Yes, you could say it's just IE's fault and why don't I use Firefox. Firstly, I quite like Maxthon's IE extensions. Secondly, if an application knows IE renders it slowly or locks up they should program around this. No sense in just blaming the browser for it. Especially when that browser still holds the highest market share in the world. We don’t get paid diddly squat for any of the donations. Just the warm fuzzy feeling we did something to help people.

Of course I always have to read about these things 15 hours after they happen, so you could have died and I wouldn't have known about it for two days, so really I am glad that you're okay. I hope you don't stop giving blood, just the plasma donations. Here in the States we get paid to give plasma, but there's not enough money for me to take that chance, so you don't either. Ugh.. I'm starting to sound like my mother. Take care. Glad to hear you’re feeling better!

I am sorry that your experience had to be a bad one, but I do hope that does not put you off from donating normal blood as its people like me, who without donations like yours, would not be around to enjoy life. I do encourage others to donate blood because without blood donations, lots of people do die.

Got saline solution and that's it. Ript off! Also when I went in for my hernia op about 14 years ago or something they told me the drugs would make me really high. Didn't experience that either :( Nup. Got saline solution and that’s it.
