The last time this happened I was in high school, I think my senior year. I felt my arm go numb, and then I felt all the blood in my body come up to my face, and then I passed out for like 2 seconds. When I came to I was surrounded by a couple other doctors and a few worried students who were unnerved by my green skin tone. I got extra snacks and was escorted to my next class, so all was good.
This time was almost exactly the same. Blood rushed up to my head and I passed out for about 2 seconds. This time, however, I remember having this really cool dream about something that I have no recollection of. When I came to there were 4 doctors standing around me saying my name, and I swear I had no idea where I was or why I was there. I thought I was in another dream. Then after like 15 to 20 seconds I slowly realized where I was and I was like ah, must've passed out again!
According to the girl at the refreshments table my legs started shaking and then non-donating arm shot up, which scared her a little. So I must've looked like a freak of some sorts. Anyway I had twice the snacks (Grandma's chocolate chip cookies, shortbread, nutter butter, a bottle of water, cranberry juice, orange juice that didn't taste good, and apple juice) as anyone else and then I walked back to my apartment.
I hope I can still donate plasma sometime, because it actually pays, but I don't know how that works. I hope whoever gets my blood knows what I did to get it to them. I hope someone gets it at all. I hope my vain doesn't start spewing blood when I play in this soccer game in an hour. Although that would make another sweet addition to this little tale. I guess we'll just have to see...
Ramblin' Man over and outta town
