Its not that I wouldn't want to give blood again, but I had a hard time donating it. I was rejected in the past because of low blood pressure, but this time I made the cut off. Barely. I was hooked up to the machine for nearly an hour. The nurse kept coming over, asking if I felt faint, and then resetting the timer to give me more time.

If you can't give a pint in 20 minutes they can't use your blood and they disconnect you. I can't believe they left you on the machine for nearly an hour, that's horrible!
