The Blood Drive!!

Yesterday i had the opportunity to give blood! Boy was it fun! I was a bit nervous since i have never done it before and i wasn't with my mom! ( I don't know what i do without her! She always makes me feel better about things-love her!) But i was with Chloe, which was awesome too! The finger prick probably hurt the most, and i didn't look at the needle when they put it in. The guy helping me was very kind to not let me see the needle! I'm sure he was getting annoyed because i kept telling him I don't really like to look at needles and blood because i pass out!  He didn't say much, but i kept assuring him it was possible!  Chloe kept telling and describing to me what everything looked like, she's so great! :)(sarcastic) haha The whole process was fantastic though! After i was all finished i really wanted some yummy apple juice and cookies at the table so i got up to go get them. I was perfectly fine reaching down into the cooler to pick up the juice and opening it, but the instant i stood up, the blood left my head faster than Niagara falls, i swear!!! It all went blurry and i knew what was happening! Luckily i made it to the chair where the guy could tell i was losing it! (I warned him!!)  Once on the chair i passed out! It was actually quite fun! :) I could still hear everyone talking around me but it was really dark and i remember the ice pack they put behind my neck and on my chest felt so relieving! It was nice. Once i finally could see and get up i started walking out, didn't even make it to the door before i had to lay down again! I am so grateful Ashlyn was there with me so she could drive my car :) I love her! I had a wonderful time giving blood. Even though it was hard for my body to handle i felt so happy that i was helping two people just with one donation! Serving others brings such a happiness to my life and i feel so grateful for good health and the ability to donate! :) I'm looking forward to it in a few months! :) Only this time, i'm bringing a wheel chair for myself! haha Plus i got an awesome yellow bandage on my arm!!  yippee!!
