Hi John,

Thanks for the advice. 

I’ve just had my first venesection & I have to say it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting. Although I did faint. 

My nurse was amazing & the cup of tea even more so. Think I can stop worrying about them now 😀 

Just waiting for my abdo & heart scan then if all ok I shall be one happy little bunny 🐰

    Aww! Bless! biggrin I remember the first time I gave blood, they had to fan me because

    I was getting so hot and lightheaded! redface But after that is was a breeze, you'll come to get used to it and it will be just part of your life.

    Good luck with you scan xx
