C reached his 50 and got a pen just in time, before all the heart things last year. Now he takes too many tablets.<br />I tried to donate once but it didn't go well so was advised against.Sue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-18120340645980929782014-04-24T09:52:07.602+01:002014-04-24T09:52:07.602+01:00The 'donor carer' lady who interviewed me ...The 'donor carer' lady who interviewed me last year asked me THREE TIMES in the course of her questioning if I was pregnant [having already established that I am nearing 60 and post meopause]Was she expecting an immacualte conception or something??Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2493748718507781603.post-64414186739902548172014-04-24T08:05:01.246+01:002014-04-24T08:05:01.246+01:00I hope EFG is okay - and what a disappointment!

Oh, I ...Am glad you are (or were!!) feeling better. Oh, I laughed at today's antics!! That was MY job, a Donor Carer!!! But I wasn't a dragon on the door, (official job description is 'welcoming'!! even if she wasn't!!) I used to get moaned at for talking TOO much!! When I started, many years ago, it was the best job in the world, we were a new Team and we had fun and 99.9% of the Donors where lovely, but as the way of most things now-a-days we suddenly had Targets to reach, or not, as the case maybe. My beloved lorry was changed for 2 large vans and the system started to go pear-shaped, so I jumped ship!! I can't believe they told EFG not to try again, yes, her veins would have been none existent if she hadn't drunk much, but tell her not to give up. As for your treatment, that astounds me, we made everyone welcome. How times change!!rabbitquilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613054286672505217noreply@blogger.com
