Stupid Blood Drives
So I was trying to be thoughtful and decided to donate blood today. I've donated before so it should have been no big deal. Well everything was going great, good iron and decent blood pressure. I donated my 600grams or whatever and after a little while attempted to sit up. I sat up for a couple minutes, and then everything went black. I fainted. I came to lying back down on the table with a bunch of people scrambling around and throwing ice packs on me. Oh well. After a good 20 minutes went by, I was told to sit up again. I was feeling much better.. and then. BOOOM I fainted hardcore this time. I almost went off the table but luckily some guy caught me. It was very traumatic. I got really sick feeling and couldn't snap out of it for a few minutes. Everyone in the whole room was staring at me. It was not a very happy experience.
I felt a bit better when Brian came and got me and walked me to my dorm. It was sweet of him because he was out with his friends and left for a little while to come rescue me. He then drove me down to my friend Liz's surprise birthday party. My boyfriend is awesome :) I am feeling much better now at least. I'm not fainting anymore but I do feel a little light-headed. So there goes my Friday night. I'm going to bed early. At least I broke the record today at the blood drive of not fainting once but TWICE! Silly me.
