Donated Blood Yesterday

You don't. When you come in to the ER unconscious, they can't ask you whether you prefer vaxxed or unvaxxed blood, and they wouldn't ask even if they could.

Drive safe and don't get into any knife fights.

It’s been over a year since I’ve donated blood, and my how things have changed.

The first thing they ask you, now, after your name and date of birth, is your gender. Y’all don’t know what I look like but I’m a shaved-head bald dude with a full beard so it’s pretty obvious. I was so confused at first I had to ask the lady to repeat the question. Thought I had misheard her. I wanted to make a smartass remark but I know the poor ground-level employees are made to ask this by their social justice warrior masters at headquarters.

They also ask you your name and DOB repeatedly throughout the process. I think I was asked six times in the space of an hour. No idea what that’s about. I guess it’s a security procedure, but I don’t know how it improves security.

The most troubling part, though, was for the first time since I started donating blood in the early 90s as a teenager, I did not fill the bag. My blood coagulated too fast and they had to pull the needle and give up after about half an hour. The nurse said that’s normal but it’s not normal for me, and with all this talk about vaccine-related blood clots and spike protein shedding from the vaccinated (I’m unvaxxed for Covid. Haven’t even had a flu shot in 12 years), I got really concerned and have started a baby aspirin regimen just in case.

I drink MUCH more water now then I ever have in my life. 15-20 glasses a day at least. I piss every half hour. My blood should not be this thick.

Yeah, the male nurse who stuck me was new and not very good at his job. Really nice guy, but he missed the vein when he first put the needle in, despite marking it first with a purple marker, and had to adjust it several times, so it may be as simple as that, but the female nurse who came in to save the day did say my blood was coagulating at the injection site which is why I didn't think that it was just a case of an inexperienced nurse. Now that you mention it, though, she may have just been saying that to not make the male nurse look incompetent.

(symptoms thick blood causes symptoms and treatment)

I just found a good overview of why blood thickens? It says the first reason is low oxygen. So it could be the cell towers?

Or there is now much less oxygen in the air in principle?

O+.

Let the monkey jokes begin.

Ok this is scary, yesterday I kept waking up thinking I was not getting enough air. I seriously wondered about the oxygen/solar storm/magnetosphere.

O Neg here, when my lizard people return, I shall tell them you are favorite pet. J/K. Wife's AB+. Ironically, she handled COVID better than I did. I was sick for about five days, but not dying.

I'm AB-...I got it Feb of 2020. Sick for a week. wasn't bad but had a fever and weird metallic taste for a while.

I'm late to the discussion. Not sure if this was asked and I missed it. You mentioned that you were taking more vitamins since covid started. Does that include D3 with K2? I know K2 can keep you from bleeding and thicken your blood.

Just a thought.

That is interesting OP. How much exposure time are you around folks who took the shot?

Oh god. It's the masks? Revbo prolly doesn't wear one but

Receptionist: What's your gender?
Man: Hold on let me check. (Unzips pants)

Since I am O-neg, the universal donor, a nearby hospital City of Hope medical Center, needs me a lot and i am there most prolific donor so I'm told. also, I live a very boring life given the form you fill out each time. Anyway, I had one donation about 2 years ago in which my vein collapsed and it stopped the donation and did not fill the bag. Boy that really stings when that happens as well. Anyway, no problems since.

Also, my wife is vaccinated and I had no problem donating on May 5th the usually double dose of platelets.

All this to say, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

No I am not worried about vaccine shedding from my wife. Our Lord Jesus protects us from such things like it says in the last 12 verses of the book of Mark.

I've been getting frequent reminders on the Red Cross app last year, explaining that there is a critical need. Anyway, I donated last Wednesday. I mentioned that I didn't get the vaxx, because they ask on the Rapid Test if you have been vaccinated.

A black girl did the draw. She said she was new. She jabbed the needle through the vein, all the way through the other side of it. In my many years of donating blood and donating plasma, this has never happened. The girl said this happens from time to time. I told her she was careless. And I was adamant about it, because this has never happened before. Both her and the supervisor were mad at me for saying the girl was careless. It felt like the intent of the jab was racially motivated, especially by her lack of experience.

After the draw, as I was on my way out of the building, I asked if the staff there had been vaccinated. The supervisor informed me that they all had been vaxxed. I've noticed that here seems to be an indignant superiority attitude among those who have gotten the vaccine jab. I don't feel a kinship with them, because of this attitude, nor apparently do they.

How would injecting a blood transfusion from the infected (Covid vaxed)) affect the transfused?

I’m leaning more toward vaccine shedding but who knows. It could just be me getting older.

Thanks for the info and suggestion.

AC7063 - Yes, they DO ask. I donated a month ago and they asked.

Revbo - I can understand your concern, I hope you have nothing to worry about. I started donating in the late '80's. I found out back then that I am a slow bleeder and that my blood coagulates quickly.
I have to keep spinning the little squeeze ball they give you, otherwise my blood stops flowing. Doesn't matter if I am well hydrated or dehydrated.

Hopefully its nothing to worry about! Stay safe, hope you're having a good NPW.
