Today’s Pic of the Day:
Today I went to donate blood. I’ve been trying to be a regular donor and today was an appointment I set up after my last donation. Unfortunately, like the picture says, I had an unsuccessful draw. I was sitting there squeezing my tube and my bag was filling up and all of a sudden I felt sick. The workers always ask as they walk by if you’re doing ok or if you need anything and right after a girl walked by and asked if I was doing good and I said yes I felt like I was gonna be sick. I caught the eye of another worker and told her I don’t feel good and bam everyone was Johnny on the spot. One girl grabbed some ice packs and put them on me, then another laid my chair back and another got a fan and had it blowing on me. They pulled out my blood draw and got me some salty pretzels and a Gatorade and just made sure I was ok. It was crazy, it’s never happened before. I laid there for quite a while til I felt better and then sat for another 15 minutes before I left. I felt so bad and was embarrassed but all the girls were so awesome. They said it happens more then you would think and that it’s no big deal. I was bummed my donation wasn’t gonna count but I’ll go back when my time comes. I literally went home and just crashed on the couch for hours.
