I gave blood again today! Last time I did it, unfortunately, I got sick to my stomach afterward, so I was a little bit wary about donating again. I found out today why. Apparently, after you fill up your little bag o' blood (just let me know if this gets weird for ya), they also take a few test tubes full to... well... test for diseases and stuff. Well, these tubie things have little vacuums in them, in order to fill themselves. This happens pretty rapidly, which caused me to get extremely lightheaded and clammy and nauseous and the like. Hence the reason I was sick last time... but good news! Didn't happen this time, yay! :D
And now I feel all civic minded, I guess. I feel so good, being able to help people like this. The only downfall is that now my arm hurts... and I'll have a pretty purple bruise for a couple days. :)
