Everything must has a try~ So i've tried to donate blood yesterday! haha What a nice and precious experience~~
I was kinda nervous(excited?) when i go for the blood donation. Before start to donate blood, we have to fill in a form first and undergo several tests. So, at first, we gotta know our weight first. Actually i think i no need to measure it cause i'm confirm can pass one. haha then measure the blood pressure. This was my very first time to measure blood pressure and now i knew how it is functioning. The cuff is placed snugly on my upper arm and where it is on, i keep on laughing. =.=" I just felt so funny or maybe actually i'm too excited~ haha.. I think that's why my blood pressure got a bit higher and that person measured it for second time. LOL sorry ><"
This is what they used to measure blood pressure |
After the blood pressure is measured, we continue in blood testing. That's for them know what's our blood type and whether we can donate our blood or not. I also dunno how to call that, i just know the range to qualify in blood donation is from 12 to 18 and mine is 12.5. Almost disqualified. =.= After that i go get the packet(used for storing the blood), get my very first "record book of blood donor" and waiting for my turn.
See! Awwwwwww >////< |
It's mine! haha and my blood type is A. XD |
The first record. >< |
Wow i'm really so nervous and so scare when almost is my turn. I'm afraid it'll be very pain. But since i'm there and had go through all the tests, why do continue till the end? So i sat down and try to calm down lol. Then that hmm how to call him... argh just let it be haha.. He injected something on the inside of my elbow after cleaned it with antiseptic bla bla bla, then he prepare the packet put in nicely and once again measure my blood pressure. Hmm not really measure cause the cuff is wrapped around the upper arm to increase the pressure of the blood in the arm veins and speed up the process. (Don't think i'm so pro in this kind of thing, i found it in wikipedia lol)
Now is using this.. haha |
Then a large needle is used for the transfer of blood. When i saw the needle, i was shocked and felt like wanna run away. Wow i can't imagine how pain it can be when that large needle is cucuk in the weakest place (the inside of elbow i think is the weakest place lol) and it's really hurt!! A little bit la, then i saw my flesh is up-heaved. Luckily no more pain after that.. haha then the blood donation started!
Wooooohoooo~~ hahaha see how brave i am! See the blood the blood!! I can felt the warmness of my blood that time! My blood is warm! (who's not lol) hahaha My blood was transfer faster than others. My one pack of blood is done so fast as compared to others who sat down before me. haha and i think i'm not that weak, in that process i don't feel uncomfortable at all. I still talked nonstop-ly bla bla keep on laughing lol.. So i stood up just after a few min after they took aways the large needle and suddenly i felt so dizzy. =.= So i sat back let my mind become clearer and not so dizzy. The sound around me become smaller (like someone use a remote to reduce the volume =.=) Those ppl who helped in blood donation asked me am i feel dizzy and they adjusted my chair into a lying mode. lol i felt so uneasy about that so when i felt better, i stood up directly once again hahaha~~ After i walked for a few steps, oh gosh, i felt wanna faint. The vision in front me was so blur, i felt i can't walk properly and yet the sound around me became so small. Fortunately my teacher saw it and pulled me to outside. She said my face is as pale as death. I dunno how pale my face was on that time, i just knew everyone was so shocked when saw my face. They said my lips is so white and I really felt so dizzy that time. So i ate so many things, 3 cups of milo 1 egg and 2 pack of biscuits hahahahaha >< i earn it back with my blood! XD
Sweating so much that time, duh i am so scare i'll pass out! So xia soi if i really pass out and u know my size who the hell can carry me if i really pass out! LOL!!
Thank you xie kee for helping me so much. haha so with siew hie and siew jing you show off to me cause you don't have any problem after blood donation! ><" hate you hahaha XP
