Today i have officially ticked something off my bucket list and my 30 before 30 list and have been and given blood! It is something i have wanted to do since i was able to but never actually did. But now i have done.
Apparently my veins were terrible. She had trouble finding a vein at first and had to go in my other arm (the one i write with) and she said in the end she thought it was on a valve as the flow kept starting! I will definitely go again. Plus the lady said my veins would probably get better the more i did it.
You can give blood every 16 weeks as a female so i am going to go again in about July as i need to wait 28 days after we come back from Florida.
Do you give blood. If your interested then head over to www.blood.co.uk to register and look for local donation places!
