S/o giving blood

I made it. I gave blood. I passed out almost at my moms and I still don't feel great. I just want my H to come home.

 

Needless to say I didn't get to go sign up to be a marrow donor. I shall do that tomorrow or next week though.

  • Eat a big dinner & drink some juice!  Sorry you still feel weak but I am glad to see your positive spirit!  

    You did a really good thing!  ***pats skipping on the back***

  • I had two gatorades there, some fruit snacks and then at my moms house I had an orange. I'm sucking down some water.

     

    I want a lot of food right now. I want a huge dinner laid out before me in wonderful fashion. (BTW. I am lightheaded so I'm kind of giggly and goofy)

  • You did an awesome thing!  I have never given blood and really should.  H even has after his accident.  I hate needles but really need to get over that.  I have great veins and never even get nauseous when they take blood.

  • You should! It seriously doesn't hurt. Especially when your technician is a sweetheart. She was SO nice. I loved her. It took MAYBE 20 minutes.

  • Go you! Eat all that you want. Drink all you want, less blood = you get drunk faster! Okay, I'm a regular blood donor and still haven't drank after donating but still, I've thought about it... 

    Good for you for saving lives Smile

  • Way to go!  Eat all you want to feel better.

     I've tried to donate but my hemoglobin level is always borderline.  The last time they tried even though I was borderline, I passed out cold at the end.  All the nurses freaked out and I had to stay for ages for observation.  So I'm unfortunately not a good candidate.  :(
