Canadian Blood Services

It's in you to give, so I gave. About 500ml of blood, in approx 6 minutes. But see, I screwed up. I didn't eat enough food before or drink enough. After I felt strange, almost like cold sweats and shivers. Somebody yelled "we gotta 10 over here" and boom, a bed was wheeled over and I was taken to a different area of the floor. RN told me that I had low blood sugar and I had to lie down for a while. 😞

Was glad to be able to give blood. Feels good to do something for other people.  Took around 25 minutes to start to feel normal again. 

Can't go back for another 52 some odd days, but I plan to do it again.
