I'm no longer as horrified by needles, but still not sure I could voluntarily go and give blood - even though I know I should, I really should.
CM, it's probably one of those things that is worse in your mind than in reality (a bit like giving birth*)
*Scrap that, that was effing horrible.

So if you're A you can be AA or OA
If you're B you can be BB or OB
If you're AB you're AB
and if you're O you're OO
You inherit one gene from each parent. Unless you have the Bombay Phenotype...

Keep giving.
I can't, but I do receive an infusion every few months for 5 days. Apparently it takes 10,000 donors to extract the immuno globulin I receive.Comment
