blood donation woes
Warning this gets a little graphic if you dont like blood/needles
ok so i waited an hour and a half to give blood. they get me on the table (finally) and everythings going fine. I was a little nervous cuz Kris said they werent real nurses (shes a nursing student) and didnt know what they were doing. But everything seemed fine. Until I'm walking out and i notice im still bleeding. profusely. So i head home cuz Kris lives accross the hall from me and she probably has more gauze. I make it up three flights of stairs and into Kris's room before I start to pass out. She makes me lay down and she tells me that they didnt wait for my puncture to clot before bandaging it. So she does the whole arm in the air with gauze on it thing again and wraps it up. Apparently im gonna have a lovely bruise because the lady who took the needle out didnt know what she was doing and its bleeding under my skin. good stuff. Soooo yeah that was an adventure.
off to class now...
