Today, the Bloodmobile came to our campus (yay!) I have always wanted to give blood, but i had to wait until i turned 18- but when i turned 18 i got a tattoo, so i had to wait one year- then after it had been a year-i went to India- and then i had to wait another year- and then when i went to give blood, someone entered my information into the computer wrong, and they thought i was still in India- Which i am not.
Today that was all fixed, so i finally got to give blood for the first time. :)
I sat in the chair and things were going good.
My bag O blood was all the way filled up and the nurse was weighing my bag and then putting in the cooler.
but when she walked away i looked down at my arm- and the needle had come out...
and my blood was pouring down my arm and dripping onto the table, i tried to tell the nurse, but she was kind of far and i was at a loss for words. She came back over and attempted to stop it, and i remember saying something like " i feel dizzy."
Then, I passed out.
If you have never passed out before- I wouldnt reccomend it.
When i woke up i really had no idea where i was.
There was about 6 nurses standing over me and putting cold cloths on my face and legs, and pouring water on my face. One nurse was asking me what my name was and if i could see her. Yes, I could see her- but i couldnt remeber how to talk. and i know my name- but i dont remember how to say it. Finally some works came out
"mhnnmnicolemhmmhm" or something like that.
It took me a few minutes to be fully awake and realize what happened.
One nurse came up to me and asked me if it was my first time.
Yup. It sure was, and how memorable.
Whoever gets my blood will be one lucky shmuck.
