beware-scary post coming your way.....

so have any of you heard of donating plasma? well my rent is going up $25 so I decided to try donating, you get paid really well and I can handle needles, I just can't look at them.

Well, needless to say (no pun even remotely intended!!) my first time went just fine, in and out, no big deal! I didn't look at the needle at all, but the thing that hurt the most was when they drew my blood, lol!!

so I went back last week and decided to try my other arm, since my 1st time, I got a tiny bruise, so I did my other arm and it went badly. for some reason it took longer than the first time, which is unusual and then apparently I looked pale, so they stopped the process, and then I was told to sit in the lobby for 30 minutes and I woke up on the floor. very scary.

I do want to say what they do is great, so if you can handle it, go for it! I almost wanted to try my original arm that did good, but the center called to check on me and said that I shouldn't donate anymore, which I agree with. One of my doctors checked me out and said I was fine. very scary though.
