I LOVE giving blood! I gave in December when I found out I was old enough (at 16– no you dont need to be 18, I just need a parents note…)
It was so amazing! That was the first time… the second time wasnt so pleasent.
For one, I am not the type to get freaked out by needles, or pass out. I was just annoyed because they gave me such hock about having a form (even though i gave before and had a donor’s card!) so i waited two hours to give (they were also majorly understaffed and prepared) and didnt drink for two hours before so basically, i gave 3/4 of a pint, but they arent going to use the blood for anything because I didnt give enough… sigh, will try again in tw months, but i reeeeeeeally love giving blood. And Baruch Hashem, needles dont freak me out, though this time, it was a tad painful when the needle went in.. oh well..
