Donating Blood

I donated blood today. It was for a friend of an officemate who is up for another operation at PGH for tubercoloma. I initially hesitated because it required me to wake up very early in the morning (6:30AM) and not drink or stay up late the night before (a Friday night). Still, I already gave my word to donate the much-needed blood and good enough I was able to ake up much earlier on a Saturday morning (a rare incident to me).

So, I ended lining up in the Blood Bank for 3 hours to wait my turn and all was done in 30 minutes. Had 450ML of my blood drawn off without any fancy.

While going back home riding a jeepney, I suddenly winced, heart probaly palpitating, vision a little blurry and having butterflies in my stomach. It was a good 5 minutes that I felt dizzy while on the front seat of the jeep. I got a little nervous and thought of just sitting there until I felt ok or maybe go back to the hospital for a check-up.

I have had blood donations before (about 3 times I guess) and did not experience anything like this. Darn, I swear I could hear my heart screaming for more blood. Oh well, I guess I’m not going back there for another shot any time soon. :p

  1. Hi! there’s a website that Filipinos can make use to find blood donors and register themselves to become a potential blood donors. This can be a big help for Filipinos. I hope you make a post about it or something. Thanks and God bless!
