Party Time, Excellent
Yesterday I gave blood. Or should I say, tried to give blood. I have problem veins. They are very thin and very deep. My left arm was a no-go. They missed. They then tried my right arm. I don't know all they did, but they were fooling around with my veins and had to prop up the needle with gauze and the like. Pretty soon I wasn't feeling myself. I was very lethargic and weak and tired beyond belief. Plus I had to pee like a banshee. A nurse finally came by and asked how I was feeling and when I told her, she got very concerned, took out my needle put cool cloths all over my face and put the ac unit right on me. After awhile, I was shaking - not from anything else but the extreme cold I was feeling mind you - and still having to go to the bathroom. I finally was able to go, but I had to be escorted. I was so tired yesterday, but this morning I thought I was good to go. But when I had breakfast my headache came back in full force, my arm is swollen and I was so tired, I really couldn't think. So I took a sick day. I rarely do that, and boy did I need it. I talked to my mom, and we decided that while I can't cut work altogether, I should at least work 2-3 shifts a week just to at least pay for my groceries. Alright, I really need to sleep.Ciao
