    I'm so proud of you! Look at your growth. Being a nurse, I give blood routinely. Plus, I'm O positive, too. I see the need and the good that happens from blood donations and organ donations. When you walk out, you get a good feeling knowing that you've helped save someone's life.

    Just to add that I'm proud of you as well Frog.

    I had to stop giving blood because my BP was on the low side so had a risk of passing out after donating. I'm quite a rare group so I was really upset when I had to stop.

    I'm on the organ donor register though - shouldn't have any problems there!

    Well done Frog - very courageous and well thought out - I haven't taken the plunge yet but it's inevitable!! Thanks for bringing it to our minds. alw x

    I really have no idea what my blood type is, but I'm too young to give blood anyway (>19 years). That being said, I don't do so well with getting blood taken, but I'm OK with getting things through needles (like an IV, which I've had twice). Very courageous indeed, epsecially from my POV, to do this. Kudos frog.

    Hi Frog

    Well done on taking such a big step. Its something I have been thinking about lately has they have been having blood drives around town. I feel inspired to do it now.

    I signed up to be an organ donor a couple of months ago also. I told mumsy that I was signed up which was controversial for the poor JW thing (maybe she missed the new light on organ donation) but it makes me feel good that I am making my own descisions and following through on them!

    Awesome!! That's really cool that you are going to do that. I have considered it before, but I still need to get over that hurdle. I hope it doesn't hurt too bad, but they'll probably give you a nifty bandaid to ease the pain. You need to get used to needles if you're going to get that tatoo you want. Anyways, take it easy, and shoot me a PM to let me know what's new in your world.
