I made the decision to be a hero today. To be all that I can be. To save a life. To...well you get the overdramatic picture!!! I donated blood today for my first time and man, it wiped me out! They took over 1 whole pound of whole blood from me and scolded me for not drinking enough fluids. Apparently you are NOT to work out the day of, drink alcohol the night before and you ARE to drink half your body weight in ounces of water the day of....all of which I failed to follow today, ooops:{ So in return my arm felt like it was going to fall off, my speech was slightly impaired and they made me pump this weird thing in my hand to make my veins fill up again. But all in all I am proud to have dome it! Here is an awesome shirt they gave me and my awesome bandage!
