Wahaha!
I'm soooo happy today. Like I've mentioned in my previous previous previous... post on my medical screening, I wanted to challenge my greatest fear. And YES! I've did it today! I finally went for my 1st ever blood donation.
[Making our decision, filling up the form..]Hmm.. Even though the stupid needle is so freaking big, and even though the prick on the finger is painful, surprising the big one didn't hurt at all due to the anesthesia(wonder if i spelled it right?)
Thank you Ai and jL for supporting me man, even though I was kinda nervous initially. But I'm glad for the checkups and the haemoglobin test, it really did prepare me, cuz I knew there was no turning back. And thank you jL for reminding me that Jesus shed blood in a more painful way to save lifes, which made me realise I can be more like Him in this manner.
[Ai supporting me and jL.][When I started before jL..]Best thing is, me and jL donated side by side~ wee lol, at least we can chit chat while donating. And well, after that I guess because I hadnt had enough water, I got a little dizzy and the nurse made me nervous by telling me she'll get the doctor to look at me. And I gotta lie down and they raised by legs up, which looks really weird. (see below.)
[Alright, they covered an OrBiang blanket over me, and kuku jL wanted to take a pic.]Ok but don't worry it's fine haha. One suggestion is do drink sufficient water before you go for donation, it helps to increase haemoglobin level. In case of those like jL and Ai who dont know what is haemoglobin, it's actually red blood cells. So if you drink more water, you won't get dizzy like me.
[My packet of blood. (halfway-thru)]I do hope that you can be like me too, give blood and save life. Here's the details and criteria needed for successful blood donation:
