Giving blood....uuugggghhhh.......
Scince the bali bombings I decided to give blood. I did it for aout a year and a bit regulally then with the winter months and my slow blood flow I wasn't able to give because I was cold.
Anyway I was on the way home and I drove pass the place I go to donate and I thought I'll go make appointment. I walk in and they have a cancellation so I can do it in ten minutes. Ok says me thiniking I need to go and get a few drinks into me as I hadn't had that much. So I do that and after about half an hour I'm hooked up to the machine and i'm giving blood. I felt a little queesey but I figured that it was because I watched the needle go in and it hurt a little.
It took 21 minutes and I gave (450 ml ?) cut off was 470 so I was a little under but they don't like to leave you hooked up for so long.
I get up and walk off to go get some food and a drink. I got a piece of cheese which I hate then thought I was going to hurl so I walk over to the bin, throw out the cheese and suddenly feel light headed. I stumble over to the chairs where this young guy was waiting for his girlfriend sat next to him and closed my eyees as a wave of black came and went.
"Can you get someone"
I say as I fall like a ton of bricks off the chair and on to the floor out cold!!!
During this I went straight into a dream about my team at hairdressing. I think Eve was in it to.
"Karen! Karen!" I open my eyes and I look up at this strange woman leaning over me looking down! I freak out cos I'm thinking i'm in my room at home and someones in hear too!!! I look around and theres about 4 other people around me! I close my eyes and feel like a wave of darkness came over me again.
I reopen them and it's takes a further minute to be able to hear again.
During this time I thought I've woken up in my room with strange people in it, my tinitus is really bad and now i'm deaf! I couldn't focus on this womans face it kept bluring but considering only seconds before I was looking at eve next to me now some lady is talking, I can't make out what she is saying - It was a it of a shock!
It took about a minute to get it together again.
I felt like crap. It took an hour before they would let me go home and they didn't want me to drive.
I had to, I wasn't going to leave my new car behind!!
I sat in the car rang Ant and warmed up as I was freezing inside the building.
We chatted for a bit before I drove home. I felt sick and groggy.
I probably shouldnn't of as I still feel crap now a few hours later but I got hear.
Works really quiet at the moment. So I've been told I have the day off with half of the others and the other half get Monday.
I'm happy with that it's going to be hot tomorrow but I feel like I might just stay in bed and sleep.
That's how I feel now anyway.
I'm cold.
I'm looking forward to the weekend.
