Today I donated a pint of blood to make the 5 gallon mark. I had been banned from donating for 11 years because of time spent in Turkey. The restrictions were recently reversed, and I made it!

Congratulations and well done. A few years ago I had a dinner "date" with my 80-year-old girlfriend (!) and when I went shopping that afternoon the Bloodmobile was there. I used to give whenever that happened, and I did that day. Unfortunately, it wiped me out! I had to call her and reschedule for the next day. That's the only time that ever happened. I'm sure I was never close to 5 GALLONS! ☺

Another time with the same friend we were going to a certain restaurant. She called me in mid-afternoon and said, "We can't go to that place." "Why not?" "I just drove by it, and it's gone." "Whaddya mean it's gone?" "It's completely gone. All that's left is the concrete slab!" I used to bring pizzas to her condo and we'd watch old movies. Lawrence of Arabia was her favorite.

Oh wow. It is a brilliant gift to give. One of our sons gives regularly

Thanks, Jillian. I donated just before the tornado outbreak, and heard some blood from this area was sent to the area. If mine went there, or even if it didn't, I am very happy that I can do this.

JillianB

That’s awesome Redina1, good for you.

I have to agree redina1! LOL

redina1

1953 was a great year! :))

@redina1 No. They just collapse. Still the same today and I'm 68. LOL

redina1

@Kaycys_Creations Skinny veins? It's funny to see this puzzle today; I just donated again a few hours ago. :))

Kaycys_Creations

@redina1 I tried giving blood in my early 20's but was told not to come back. They had so much troubles getting a spoonful from me! LOL

redina1

I highly recommend giving it a try. It is the most productive 10 minutes you'll ever spend. :)

Good for you redina!
I used to donate, but haven't for some time. I have been thinking lately I need to check and see if I still can. My veins aren't so good anymore though.

@Bekkabee. I am scheduled to go tomorrow to donate again, and I was off before. Tomorrow will actually be the five gallon mark. I am very pleased to be able to do this. Thank you.

Bekkabee

Redina, thank you so much for doing this!! About 14 years ago I had to have a blood transfusion. I'd like to thank everyone who has ever donated blood. Maybe one of you saved my life :-)

redina1

Thanks, Marina. :)

Congratulations for being a blood donor. You contributed into saving people's lives.

redina1

Thanks, Judy. :)

jals

Wow! Good for you!!!

redina1

I understand your disappointment. I was so happy to be able to donate again. My hubby has never been able to donate cause he had hepatitis when he was a kid.

Regrettably coumadin medication with a new heart valve makes my blood a No no :-o

Thank you!

nanab

Congratulations and Thank You!
My husband has a blood disorder that requires him to have frequent transfusions, I'm not able to donate.

CathyTxDJ

Congrats, redina! I've donated as well and wish I could still do so :) I wish more would!

redina1

If I've done nothing else worthwhile in my life, I've done this. I feel blessed to be able to donate and highly recommend it to anyone who can. Thanks, lefty! :)
