Giving blood….

March 9, 2008

well this morning I made a complete prat of myself!

Went to give blood and didnt have any problems until afterwards when I sat down for my sugary drink and biscuits…..

All at once I went all wobbly and thought I was going to pass out. I shouted to one of the nurses who jumped up, grabbed a mat for the floor and lay me down, before I’d had chance to breate I was being cooled down by two fantastic nurses and was covered in alchohol wipes (to cool my skin faster) I took about 10 minutes to get back to something like normal and had to sit there for about another 20 minutes.

The room was sweltering though (Thats my excuse) and I’m suffering from a bit of a cold so its my own fault really.

Thats it, next time I’ll be having an early night the night before, drinking plenty beforehand and not going if I feel ill at all!
