Bone Marrow

Bone Marrow

Alright. Really odd question and probs wont be able to help but worth a shot. Has anyone given bone marrow before or know anyone who has? I wana know if it knacks. Im sure it does since it says you may need to stay in hospital for upto 48hrs and off work for upto 5 days. :spangled:

Re: Bone Marrow

Are you thinking about donating marrow?
I've not had it done.. but I can pretty much guarantee it will hurt like hell..

It hurts like fuck.

Have you done it before? They give u general anaesthetic. Is it like an ache after or something? Worth it tho, just pacing myself.

Yeah Ray Im looking into it. And thanks for dropping that disk off! Ive just got back from a couple days in Manchester, so havent had chance to watch yet

Tis alreet.. I'll defo be on ss this week for ya!

Your a brave lass thinking bout doin that..
I wouldn't need anaesthetic.. cos I'd faint at the thought of it being administered..

Yeah Ive read the bumf on it, just wanted to know what pain Id be in. They apparently pay any loss of earnings which is good cos I dont get paid for sick days yet altho I might try twist something outa work if I got called up. I already give blood, which they say you have to, so Im gonna stick my name down.

a lad i work with did a few year ago. he was back at work after 3 days

Thats good news. Did he cry like a bitch about the pain?

nah, he didn't mention it

Think it just scared me that u have to stay in hosital :spangled: Defo worth it imo. I didnt even know you could do it til the other day

I would'nt dare, I cant even give blood because I'm such a puff with needles. I feel all faint when I get a blood sample taken.

ive been thinking about giving blood for years but my bloods tarnished with allsorts so its pointless

can you eat it? bone marrow sounds nice

i'll bet its like fig rolls

Thats what I get in my mind when people mention bone marrow for some reason :spangled:

Rach - I just asked my lass about it and she said it would be excruciating..

Think carefully about it..

Used to work at South Tyneside general.. and her mother works there too..

Wouldn't it just be like any other bone orientated operation??

I'm going to look into this, just applied for some extra info on it.

Also going to start giving blood, I've been meaning to for ages and I can't believe I've left it this long, about time I got round to it.

I think it's because of the old dog food adverts, it mentions it has marrow in and had something that looked like that.:spangled:

Yeah but surely worth it if youre giving someone else a chance at life. Ive filled my form in, gonna speak to work about it today. But says you have to hand the form in next time you give blood. Only Ive just given blood so I wont be able to hand it in for like 16 weeks or whatever it is. Im gonna call them later

Nice one Jill. Just mention it when you start giving blood and they take an extra sample from you to test your tisue

Go for it itl just be like giving blood youll be slightly bruised for a few days
