I'm nervous! (blood drive)
« on: February 19, 2004, 08:56:32 pm »
I have no flippin idea why but I signed up for the blood drive at school! ahh! Is it true that it takes them 9 minutes to take a pint of blood?  8O

I know you have to weigh over 110 pounds and all which I do (wow that's like the millionth time i've admitted that today!  :oops:) and I know all the other questions they ask you and all that shit and I'm good to go, I'm just scared that I am going to faint or something. My friend fainted last semester when she did it, (not to mention someone just fainted in my Drama class not from that tho I don't think) but eh, anyof you guys ever do a blood drive at school? I told my Choir teacher and she was all "that's pretty gutsy!" lol. I'm not sure when it is or anything, she asked me and I wasn't quite sure. But yeah, someone in my English class also told us we had guts for signing up, now I am all  :?

Hey, I am getting out of Algebra so woohoo for that! Haha

Don't worry. It isn't that big of a deal. Doesn't hurt much either. You'll be fine.  :)

That does take a lot of guts! (but this is coming from a needle phobic, lol).
I'm not allowed to give blood. My blood pressure is low, my blood sugar is low, and I have a low ammount of blood to begin with, haha. And I get dizzy every day as it is. So I would for sure pass out.
But for most people it's fine! Ive gone with people to get it done, and they had a blood drive at school, its no big deal! Don't worry! And you're doing such a good thing!

as soon as i'm old enough i'm donating blood. you could be saving someone's life when you donate and i think that would be an awesome feeling.

i'm with holly, i can't give blood because of my needle phobia- though I'd really like to, to help out people. . .

good luck you'll be fine, pretty much all the seniors gave blood (excluding me and a few others).. and there really weren't any probs

Same here, when I went to the ER I passed out when I saw the needle.

I'm sure you'll be strong enough to do it though!

I've done that at a doctors office! But I guess their's no better place to faint. I have to say though, it was VERY freaky waking up with 3 doctors over me until I figured out what happened.
But that's not the reason I can't do it... I would if that were it. But my blood sugar and pressure is too low, and I have a low amount of blood as it is...

I'm afraid of needles. when I woke up I was being wheeled in to the table, they did stick me though.  :(

he said I could scream as much as I wanted because it was a painful one, and it sure as hell was. 8O

i think i was more afraid of needles when i was younger... i havent had a shot or anything like that in a REAL long time, like 6th grade or something.  And I remember I pretty much cried and the nurse called me a baby.  She wasn't nice.

Ick, but I have to get some vaccination or whatever to live in the dorm at uconn -_-
