I want to donate blood this week but I've a feeling my iron might be too low. I'm awfully tired lately and my hair has been falling out a lot for months now. The last time I went, my haemoglobin levels were at 12, the absolute minimum for donating blood.
I r broken
I saw your new clothes in the Latest Purchases thread tomissex, I heart your skirt!
I've aways wanted to give blood bit they won't let me! It's quite annoying :-(
And despite asking plenty of times no one has ever been able to tell me if I can still be an organ donor!0 -

Edit: My mam just got a phone call. Gran isn't settling at all so my mam is gone over to the nursing home to see if she can get her to settle. Can't see this working at all.
No problem at all. Hope I can get it done0 -

As well as that, I plan to start applying for jobs.
You need a "resume" so m'dear, no CV's in Canada!
The layout is totally different, took me so long to edit mine there.
I feel much better today, thanks everyone. Have had an influx of emails, bookings, "feck the begrudgers!" style support from friends, family, strangers, so it's all good!
We got our new carpet and flooring, THREE years I've been dying for this, they look like new rooms.
Getting my hair cut tomorrow, then meeting a lovely boardsie, then home for pancakes! :pac:0 -

And I'm fairly sure, if that wasn't enough, that I can't because of a tiny cancer I had as well. I'm not 100% though because I think that only some cancers are disqualification worthy. Not that it can affect me anyway!
Botswana? Class! Actually my parents are the same because they lived in the UK during the mad cow disease outbreak. It's a daft rule that obviously doesn't exist in the UK, or most of the population would be ineligible to donate blood :pac:
Cancer? Oh dear, I hope you're okay now! Jeebus, the only thing that might disqualify me after the iron thing are my piercings
My uncle passed away from cancer in October 2010, and he always donated blood regularly so it's something I'd like to perpetuate 0 -

Yup Botswana! Lived there til I was nearly 10!
And yea, I'm fine! Happened I was 16 and I was really lucky with it tbh. Only had to have 2 surgeries and and the only real bad thing that I had to suffer was some facial paralysis. If that's the worst that life wants to throw at me I can deal with it!
Sorry to hear about your uncle! Fair play to him for donating!0 -
Good luck with the interview, boneyarsebogman!
My mam worked in a nursing home for over 25 years and sometimes they would have to bring a new lady in just to have her dinner in the home for a couple of days, then perhaps have a whole day there with her relatives around, work up to spending a night there, then a weekend and then make the permanent move to settle them in with less distress.Jane_LS_88 wrote: »Gran is back home.

Maybe that's what they might do with your gran.
It's great she has a family, though. Many ladies were 'left' in my mother's nursing home and the relatives wouldn't even visit for months, no matter how distressed they were told their mother/granny was.
She's lucky to have people around her like you, who care so much. 0 -

That's awesome! The furthest away I've ever lived is Cavan
Wow you were very lucky really, by comparison to other people!
Thank you, it was very hard to lose our uncle (quite young as well) but you just have to keep going. At least he's no longer suffering, he was in so much pain. I always like to donate to cancer charity events/collectors etc, one of the lads I work with is doing the Shave or Dye thing with Today FM, he plans to rock a blue mohawk 0 -

Yeah maybe that's what will happen but right now I don't see it happening because she was so upset and distressed in there. She had no idea what was going on or where she was or why she wasn't at home. Don't know what's going to happen next tbh.0 -

I kind of feel selfish with my experience because of how lucky I was!
I'd love to do something for shave or die but work is kind of stopping me! I'll donate anyway!0 -
