This weekend I gave blood for the first time. I wasn't super scared to give blood but I was apprehensive to do so since it was something new.
The experience was refreshing and a little draining (literally). It was satisfying to know that I was making a difference to help someone else. Overall it was a good experience that brings a renewed perspective.
This was a great idea! I can't hardly stand needles, so it always terrifies me to even consider donating blood or plasma. It always makes me feel super selfish, but good job doing it and getting it done!
ReplyDeleteI used to donate plasma frequently and that was draining as well. I had to stop doing that because I kept passing out. I have never donated blood before. I imagine that the needle is not as big since they are just taking blood and not putting it back.
