Donating Blood

Hi everyone....I'm feeling a bit light headed this afternoon. I donated blood for the first time EVER today and nearly passed out twice before leaving the site. I had to call for a ride home. I felt like such a wimp! The nurses were very attentive and helpful. They told me I became dizzy because I eat just before going in and advised me to wait awhile after eating for the next time. I went home and slept two and a half hours.

So here is my warning to all of you....learn from my experience....DON"T DONATE BLOOD RIGHT AFTER YOU EAT.....you might fall flat on your ass.

Will I donate again? Yep sure will. My blood just might save somebody's life.
