so yeah i was a good Samaritan and gave blood today. just before i filled up the dang bag i started to pass out. luckily the nurses were fast acting and got my legs up and my head back so i didnt pass out. this happened a total of 4 times. it happened because i was severely dehydrated and did not know it. i drank 4 cans of Gatorade and that didnt really help TOO much. so they had to hook me up to an IV and put fluid in me that way. like 500 cc's of it. im doing much better now. im leaking like an old water bed. wizzin every 15 minutes moral of the story EAT AND DRINK LIKE A SUMO WRESTLER BEFORE YOU DONATE BLOOD!!! some good did come of it. i found out that i REALLY need to drink more water. i get my blood tested for diabetes FREE and i get to find out my blood type! : D although i am pretty cheesed i didnt get my free T-shirt e_e. also the nurses were all great EXCEPT one who was a TOTAL *words i cant say* i over heard her say that whether or not the 4th Gatorade fixes me up they should send me on my merry dehydrated way back to class which the 4th one didnt work. of course they didnt send me on my way. i dont know what her problem was but she needs to find a new job. if i new her name i would have called her boss and had a little chat. any who im all good now just drinkin water and chillin.
