Have we got Fetch blood badges yet? Has it been requested? It's the only thing I'm excelling at now! G

I went to give blood last week, inspired by an appeal for O- donors. I last went when I was a student and they failed to get a full bag out of my arm. My previous last attempt was during covid when I had to cancel as I’d been in contact with someone who was ill. Turned up, answered all the questions (have you EVER had any medical investigations, lol), good iron levels. Then the nurse couldn’t get the needle into my vein as it was scooching around. It was a bit ouchy. She gave up. So I got my tea and biscuit but didn’t give any blood. She checked my other arm which was probably worse. This correlates with any time I’ve had a blood test and I can be tricky to take blood from. I’d drunk loads too. I may try one more time but perhaps I’m just not made to be a donor 😢 |

Some people's veins are hard to find or get into, I believe. Well done for trying Meglet. I'm lucky, I have big gushy veins. There are also clear holes now to mark the spot for next contestant to try. G
