As you can see, I can take blood from everybody and give to only one. Mua-ha-ha. (source) |
I have recently learned that the plasma of my blood is universal and therefore is the preferred donation from me. The problem with that is, it is a longer process and I have already stated that I am a baby and don't like needles. It is bad enough to lay there for 15 minutes for whole blood donation but having to lay there for an hour. For me that is the equivalent of rolling around on an ant hill for 15 minutes or 60 minutes. But because I am a glutton for punishment, I wanted to find out
So now I just have to figure out who I need to talk to about getting rid of the really personal cryptic questionnaire they ask you in front of everybody. Why ask me if I ever received blood in Europe in 1980 every time I donate? Do they believe that I created a time machine from the last time they asked me two months ago? Even if I did create a time machine I think I would have better uses for it than to travel to 1980 and collect Foreign blood.
Anyways, I am sure you guys are bored to death about blood now. I will leave you with a little personal fun fact:
Mrs. Speedypants and I both have the same rare blood type of AB+.
What blood type are you and do you donate?
