Giving Blood 3.0
I had a 50/50 shot of the blood donation going great or horrible based on my last two experiences. Luckily there was no blood pooling under my skin this time =) Although I still got an extra large t-shirt instead of a small. That makes three. I must be cursed.
I also found out that it is NOT a good idea to try and work out after giving blood. I waited a few hours but I still barely ran a mile before deciding to stop so they wouldn’t have to scape me off the treadmill. I didn’t get dizzy or anything just extremely tired. I didn’t think it was possible to almost fall asleep while running. Evidently I was VERY wrong. =P
