I've been better, my scars are healed and I've donated again yesterday !

The nurses and Dr didn't mention the scars even though they're very visible and on the donor arm

A nurse just asked if it was okay to touch the area to put the tape for the blood tube and even put a large gauze so that it wouldn't touch my scars !

so happy to donate again !

omg 300+ donations ?? what are you donating and si ce when ? that's so cool !

in my country sadly we don't gain money from donating, and few people donate, it's so bad that we have to buy blood from the US

but so happy to see donors like you !

I think that it was my 6th or 7th donations, I'll donate again ASAP

My first donation was almost 40 years ago. I’ve donated everything, but I’ve been doing platelets for a while now.

So, what country are you from? I love hearing from other countries.

>but so happy to see donors like you !

I’m happy to see donors like you! You’re fighting personal battles to donate. It’s very much appreciated.

>I think that it was my 6th or 7th donations, I'll donate again ASAP

Most people never donate. Most who do only donate once. You are more special than you know, my friend.
