| This band-aid on my arm makes me feel like a drug addict...but I gave blood today (first time). When I went in there, they gave everyone all this info to read, then I filled out some health questionaire, and had my blood tested and blood pressure taken. (They have to prick your finger - which stung a little). Next, they directed me to one of the folding lawn chairs that they had set up where the doctor disinfected my skin and stuck the needle/thing into my vein. I don't have any fear of needles, but I didn't watch the doctor stick this thing in my arm; it looked too big. Besides my hands being cold (well, they were cold to begin with), it didn't hurt and it was weird to see my blood pouring into the bag. Since it was my first time and all, I had to lie down while all of this was going on, then I had to slowly (very slowly) sit up and stand. They even made me stay 15 mins to eat something and make sure i was okay. Overall, it was a good experience, and the only pain I had afterwards was where they inserted the needle; it felt like that section of my arm was asleep or had been hit. The other event of my day was registering for my class at Muskegon Community College. I'm going to take Business Intro on monday nights (I'll probably have to miss two classes for my china trip). And the second semester I think I'll take Cinema Studies and possibly German 101...or Spanish. We'll see... | |
