They gave me 26 units after the car accident and 2 a month for 3 years after cancer treatments. All the people that I know, including Loyal donate blood and are not paid. Of course, they won’t let me as I don’t have enough to spare. Loyal was always welcomed as he is AB negative. Good for you. I’m proud to have you as a pal!<br />What a pretty blue frock. xxxx PRidgewomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13268684588250261751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-49200360152202509002011-04-22T17:25:55.502+01:002011-04-22T17:25:55.502+01:00Se me ha olvidado lo principal..... darte la enhor...Se me ha olvidado lo principal..... darte la enhorabuena por el reconocimiento a tu generosidad....<br /><br /><br />I have forgotten the main thing ..... congratulate you for the recognition of your generosity ....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08151296175568145800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-26534735194510979132011-04-22T17:23:14.156+01:002011-04-22T17:23:14.156+01:00Yo durante años, he sido donante de sangre, y a lo...Yo durante años, he sido donante de sangre, y a los 18 me hice donante de organos.....

I remember your last visit to give blood being rather antichimatic, so this is so much better. <br /><br />In the US, or my region anyway, blood which is donated to be transfused must come from volunteer donors who are not paid. However, those who donate plasma which is to be manufactured into pharmaceuticals are paid.<br /><br />I work in a hospital blood bank, so I am very grateful to everyone who donates so that I can take care of my patients.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902036588224843966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-48917441634958210502011-04-22T03:20:27.134+01:002011-04-22T03:20:27.134+01:00Wow!

I can't donate (I used to) due to some medical issues, but DH did pheresis for years as a donation. That's the part Gina is talking about where they take a blood component. He used to watch a movie while they took blood out of one arm and put what they didn't need back into the other, all at the same time. Took about 2 hours. Some component used for cancer patients.<br /><br />Great job, old git!Crazy Mom!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00550918194758228198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-43194132833286357072011-04-21T12:08:38.842+01:002011-04-21T12:08:38.842+01:00This is wonderful....You are wonderful!!
