I think it's were they seperate the blood calls from the plasma and then put the plasma back in. I think I may have had a delayed effect to or something because the next day I nearly passed out on my pottery wheel in ceramics class. I feel fine now though. I can only assume that perhaps I should have drank more water than I did afterwards. And it may sound strange or morbid....but I find myself fascinated watching my blood get drawn. So, any fun blood donation stories to share? Or are you not old enough/able to?

The nurses even gave you a large bar of chocolate, what more could a man want?

You don't have to have vaccinations and booster shots in your school district? Weird. Anyway, I've given blood when I was 17, at my high school's blood drive. I did it primarily to get out of class, even though I'm afraid of needles and hate having my blood drawn. You can seriously feel the blood pumping out of your arm, it's disgusting. Red Cross kept calling me after that trying to get me to donate more, I dunno if I'm a universal donor, or if my blood type is just rare.

It made my arm tingle a bit. Oh, and I don't think it matters what blood type....if you donate once they'll keep trying to get you to come back. I go back through because I feel as if its at least one good thing I can do in my life. As for my blood type I'm O+

This time I got a really nice metal water bottle and a chance to win a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Then while the blood is drawn we get to watch a movie and afterwards gave us pizza.
