Last night I decided to donate blood. I figured with everything going on with Jake (if you don't know, I'm not going into details sorry) giving blood would be a piece of cake. If my heart can take this much pain then my arm will be fine with a needle.
So today after math, I went to donate. I had to do something on the computer first then go talk to a lady. After that I had to answer questions on a paper like have you done drugs, had contact with someone who has HIV, etc. So after that I got my blood pressure checked and pulse and iron and so on. After i was done with all of that, i went over to the chair. I was shaking so bad. it was ridiculous! Even after she put the needle in my arm i was shaking. I was shaking after it was over too. Idk why. It was over. But yeah i cried. It was scary. But i feel pretty good about myself. i mean i saved 3 lives. that's always good!
Just thought i'd share the highlight of my day!
Love You!
