How did you get out of bed at 5?
Complete denial. I kept going to work but noticed it was getting harder to walk or raise my arms, I thought I had the flu or at worst a heart problem.
The emergency room doctor seem really pissed with me.
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

It's all about the blood, children.
More blood please.

Ugh, Ginger, I am totally phobic of needles and have thus never given blood, but now I am thinking of doing so in honor of you. I haven't had ink done in 3 years, so I should be good, right?
Speaking of medical stuff, I have 1st mammo on Thursday, and a blood draw to test my cholesterol, etc. on Friday. Good thing the draw is at 4 pm; I can easily fast that long.

I am a faint-at-the-sight-of-blood person, but now that I've been on the receiving end of 2 transfusions, I asked my doctor how soon before I could give blood. he said a year. Gives me time to work up the nerve.

Can you give blood if you take a tranq?

The status is NOT quo.
I just donated last month and can’t donate again until after my half marathon in a couple of weeks, but I will be going in again in November.
I made the mistake of trying to run the day after I donated blood last time. That was a Very Bad Idea.

My worst was going down to a 4. My hemotologist wasn't sure how I accomplished anything. Can't donate anymore because I'm not allowed to give away any red blood cells and I don't have "straight enough" veins to donate plasma.

I can't donate blood, I lived in the UK too long. I might have Mad Cow lurking in my system.

Before I got cancer, I donated six gallons of blood, plus I did platelet donation. I'm still on the plus side.
Give blood! It's the cheapest charity there is, and there are cookies.
