Blood Drive


.:Bbast:.


I donated my blood yesterday for the first time, and was nervous as hell! The whole day I wait and I'm getting more and more nervous, and finally my turn comes. First we had to fill out this paperwork so they can know if our blood my possibly in any way be contaminated. They had weirdo gross questions like "If you are female, have you ever had sex with a male who has had sex with another male?" and I was like ". . . . . . What the hell!? No way!!!" So anyway, after the paperwork we had to have a little physical, but mostly they pricked my finger and recorded my weight and stuff, went over the paper to make sure they have everything explained, like I had my ears double pierced and they wanted to know where and when, type of stuff. So I have my finger pricked and the guy's trying to get enough blood to put in this little tube, so I watching him pull on my finger trying to get more blood, and he's like "You don't eat much red meat, do you?" and I'm like "Uhhh, I guess not" and I'm getting queesier and queesier. Finally, I get to go, and I stand up and almost FAINT!!! I got all dizzy and breathless and weak and faint just from a freaking pinprick! It hurt like hell! So, I drink some gatorade and try to calm down, but I'm so nervous I'm shaking! My body wasn't listening to what my head was telling me, I guess. But, everything was fine, they put this big-ass needle in and I had to squeeze this squishy thing every five seconds to pump the blood outa my arm. . . >.< It sounds YUCKY! Anywho, I was extremely tired for the rest of the day, and boy was it hard getting up stairs! But I made it home (didn't pass out behind the wheel) and then I passed out in bed for 2 hours, then went to work. . . yeah, rest of the nights uneventful. . . gotta got to bed now, cause I have to work at 8am and my arms hurting from typing! ;P Good night! Sorry about the long post.
