I finally donated blood! There were some things that almost prevented me from donating, here are just a few:
- not enough sleep the last night (4 hours)
- didn't really sign up to donate, did a walk in donation
- 104lb frame..they never weighed me!
- if my pulse was any faster, they wouldn't take any

The pain was nothing, I was expecting worse. The real fun happens when the blood is actually being drawn. When the blood bag was half full, I was feeling really dizzy and tired. I was afraid of passing out, so I panic, and get hot. After surviving the donation, I got really cold. Standing up was so hard... People around me say I looked deathly pale (i'll try to find some pictures, 'cause everyone around me took some for fun...) People forced me to lay down and they gave me a paper bag to breathe through! Dunno what else to say, just that people should definitly weigh the required 110lb.

Scrambled eggs never tasted so good..

Bye
