| Comment | Good on you! That's amazing. Great effort.
In fairness they didn't specifically want it weekly regularly but I recall them saying that the turnaround was extremely quick with platelets so - yay - they could have me in all the time. Their more general point was that shortages were such that they wanted me to be able to basically pop in whenever they wanted, which I was a bit 'come on, dude'. I understand the position they're in, and it must be tough: only certain types can do it, you need to be a certain weight and willing.
> Did you ever experience the buzzing sensation? I was told it happened when the needle was touching a valve in your vein, and it opens and closes to fast that it vibrates the needle. Honestly felt like there was a phone under my skin going off, horrible.
Jesus I sunk into my chair at that. I initially thought 'God, No!' but I think this was exactly what it was that I had. It made a little noise.
> be honest it become quite an uncomfortable experience
Yeah, that's really it: I really, really didn't enjoy it but someone has to. I kinda fought through the time. |
