Im a good girl I am :)

I have been donating for about 4-5 years now. Even though the needle hurts like nothing else and only just fits into me, I still go and do it.

Funny story - The first time I donated was amusing, not what I was expecting at all. I was very scared to say the least, you know those damn annoying butterflies that just do not go away. I had to look away whilst the needle did its thing, and I survived, but was grossed out. But then the blodd flow wasn't happening and it started coming out and silly me looked down....and that was the end of me. I donated about 100grams. I went white as a ghost, they had to lie me down with my head lowered and a pillow under my ankles. They made me have a powerade to bring me back from fainting. :^^:
Everyone was looking at me funny and I was being mothered by all the nurses. It was an experience thats for sure.

To this day I still asked to be lying down with a pillow under my ankles. I am wussy like that :P
And I will always have a sugar drink after. I learnt my lesson.
