Fragile Do Not Bend Sep 2018 2:15pm, 21 Sep 2018 3,381 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend I won’t win any speed donating prizes today, as they had to give me a tube to roll in my hand to speed things up. There’s a new self service hot drink machine at the session I went to, I have to say the tea wasn’t great but I had an orange club to make up for it.

Oranj Oct 2018 4:06pm, 24 Oct 2018 1,142 posts	0 Oranj Went to give blood today, there's a local regional centre (within cycling distance) so it's fairly straightforward to book a slot. Registered a spectacular fail of the Hb test today. I'm usually a bit marginal anyway but 128 g/dL might be a new record low for me. I don't feel dizzy or anything and just ran a 3:05 marathon. Perhaps I should consider a sex change before my next attempt at a donation?
Velociraptor Oct 2018 4:23pm, 24 Oct 2018 39,415 posts	0 Velociraptor I've just had a notification that my donation from a week ago went to Bradford. Presumably for little babies, because the specification on my form was "neonatal".
HappyG(rrr) Oct 2018 4:23pm, 24 Oct 2018 29,433 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) How recent the marathon? I tried to give after my longest ultra and was Hb low (under 130) and when lady said, have you done any endurance exercise, I answered "a 105 mile, 24 ultra marathon, does that count?" Errr... yeah, apparently, trashes your red blood cells or something! G
