Giving blood...
I gave blood today for the first time last Thursday. I wasn't able to do it before because of my tattoos.
I definitely pretty much passed out. I felt like I was gonna barf and got all over-heated and clammy. Everyone's voices got muffly and everything got blurry and I was goin' black and then the doctor splashed ice cold water all up in my face. So it was a mili-second pass out. Totally felt yucky. But the nurse completely drenched my in ice cold water because I was seriously over-heating. I wore the free t-shirt out because my shirt was soaked; it was an XL...I looked pretty dope. When they were taking the blood, I could feeel myself getting more and more light-headed - so weird. I'm only five pounds above their minimum weight limit and I'm not a very hearty person, so that is probably why. It was also my first time, so that sometimes happens.
But they got enough of my fluids so wooooooooot. Someone gets delicious Meg blood.
Everyone should give blood. Just eat a whole big hearty something before you go. And drink tons of water. Then you won't pass out like me. YAY!
