So today has started out well... not the right way. I went to bed practically as the birds were getting up. Woke up around 9 to get ready to donate blood.
I get to the center only for them to find that my left arm (the one I usually use to donate with) is not strong enough. How ever my right was good enough. First the girl missed my vein... restuck it in and then decided to tell me that it's stinging because of the anti-soemthing on the needle is making it sting.
But suddenly I feel this pain I have never felt A) in my life and B) in my donating expriences. I found out that the needle hit a nerve. The pain traveled up and down my arm and through my fingers. After the needle was out my WHOLE arm went limp and numb.
Now I must go take a shower and go to work.
