Fascinating! My Mother is A+ as was my daddy. My brother claims that the Army typed his blood as AB-. He refuses to be re-tested, so until he's officially on the transplant list, I guess he's taking some major chances with his life! Yet, there were three baby boys born within 15 minutes of his birth, and my parents often wondered if they were given the right child...

Oh, I'm A+.

I'm going to be donating for the 8th time in July (4th time this year). I'm finding that donating blood is getting really addicting.

I notice whenever I go to donate and it's really nice out, that there are far less donors, so go donate people!
I've always met the nicest people while giving blood! I'm in the Gallon Club, but haven't been allowed to give as often as I'd be willing lately.

B+ Just gave blood last week too!

A- .
My brother is O something. Dad was A+. Mom was A something.
I wish I could donate. They can't get the needle into a vein, and when they finally do, it blows or collapses. NOT fun.
But many thanks - MANY - to those of you who do!:)

Military blood typing
 
Honeychile, my father was incorrectly typed all his years in the Air Force. He found out only when admitted for back surgery - my brother went to donate blood and discovered he was NOT the same type as dad. We shudder to think what would have happened in the 60s if he had needed a transfusion - tell your brother to get over his bad self and get re-typed!

From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely thank you! My brother insists that the Army wouldn't have mistyped a combat soldier, but there's just no way he could be AB- ! You are just too sweet for giving me the ammunition (no pun intended!) to push him to be retyped! Thank you, thank you!

O+.

As an RN, I am giving blood products constantly to my fresh hearts (bypass patients) so I know the need for donors! Just last week, we had 4 emergent surgeries over the weekend... we went through so many blood products that weekend!

this is a great thread. i have NO IDEA what my type is, although i've donated to blood drives before. I just called my mom and she doesnt know either. Thanks mom. :(

I need to pay more attention to the important stuff.

I remember that one of my sorority sistrs passed out during pledging because she went up on the sunroof to get a tan for a couple of hours after she gave blood.
Yes, I do know that this is an older post but.....
When one donates, you are told to take it easy the rest of the day. Do not work out, do not smoke and drink water.
