Did a good deed yesterday, went to donate my precious blood. Though it's not really a very big thing but I guess out of 10 people, more than half would shake their heads and I will be the only freaky person that will go wholehearted. I starting to love doing good deeds and helping people. Maybe because I have not been really nice, so it's time for me to change. Not too late also.
Well it was my first time, so I was really nerveous as before I get onto the seat to start donating my blood, I have to go through a few stages. First was a health checkup and that doctor doubled reassured that I'm going for this blood donation drive willingly. The conversation with the doctor was really interesting, and he's quite cute to be a doctor.
Next I went to this nurse who used this nail-clipper kind of stuff and clipped onto one finger and blood was seen the next moment. A test to see if I have enough iron in body to donate blood. So I passed this test and went on to the seat. Did a last test to check if my nerves are suitable for the donation. Everything was good and the nurse went to get ready the necessary needles.
Saw the whole process from the moment the nurse applyed this yellow medicine to the big metel needle thingy injected into my hands and saw my O+ blood flowing into the bag. Michelle said out of all the other donors, I'm the only one that seems overly excited. I guess that'e me, when I'm trying something new. Sadly, for a moment the blood in me decided not to flow anymore and started clotting up. So the whole process has to stop. It's not even half the packet full. Was quite discouraged. Looking at the guy beside me, in minutes, he pumped out a packet full of fresh blood, felt a little worst. Instead of donating my blood, I got most of the nurse to attend to me, to make sure I'm okie.
I'm alright. Just felt that I haven't done my part yet. 14 August, I'll be back to donate my blood again. This time before I go, I'll make sure I have enough exercise and rest. Believing that I can donate at least a packet full of blood.
It won't hurt much, but it can save someone's live. Thanks to that someone who donated his/her blood, if not my mum will never be able to make it thru.
