Blood donation

as what my title say. this whole week is blood donation week. the PBSM(Persatuan Bulan Sabit Merah not Persatuan Balik Setiap Minggu) organised a blood donation in MMU. from monday to friday. 

last time when they came i never go because i scared of the big needle that poke into my hand. the 1 mm thick needle that go into my flesh and u can see the blood flowing out of my arm. i always very respect oRoro that whenever he know that there is blood donation he sure go. 

this time i also very scared and dont know want to go or not. oRoro is telling me that it is nothing. im always consulting him how isit. and im trying to ask somebody to accompany me to go donate. but none of them want to go with me. UK scared of needle and pain and..... shahril never want to do this kind of things. fongE too small and too thin cant donate.... and there is some that say they love blood and dont want to donate... haiz... 

so finally friday i make up my mind and go and donate. thanks to oRoro accompany me to the place and be at my side. he donated already so cant accompany me to donate again. so 1st go there fill up a form that ask whether i got any sickness or HIV or any surgery and bla bla bla... 

next go test my blood group. i sit down and the doctor ask for my finger. so i just give him my left hand and he took my middle finger and wipe it with alcohol. then he take a small cubic thing out and then *puk*.. OUCH.... then can see blood coming out. then he squezz somemore and then took some. then he took a big board out and then drop 2 drops of blood there. and then drip some chemical that test for antibody A and B. then the result. im blood group O.... for so long my mum always say that i follow my fathers blood group which is B and now only i know that i follow my mum. 

then next stage is see a doctor to test blood presure and ask if i got any sick. then my blood presure is still in the ok level. then ask some question and i answer and then ok pass. then go to the last stage before donation. go get my blood donation bag and stuf for donation. after taking it then the final and the most fear stage......

go there then they ask me to sit down on the chair. lean down and then they look for my blood vessel. then the nurse take out a needle and then i told her i was scared. i ask her, " sakit tak? saya takut jarum punya." then she just laugh and then she answer me " tak sakit. sekejap sahaja" then the needle when in. and it is painful.... then can see that the vessel there bengkak up and then the big needle is in. surprisingly that the big needle went in and it is nothing. no feeling. but then when it is in the BLOOD come out. blood which is dark red come out. then they just ask me to pump my hand so that the blood can come out faster. 

so my job now is just lie down there and pump my blood for them. in just bout 5 mins then they say is over. i just pump out 450ml of blood. so now i have 450ml of blood less in my body. haha.... then take out the needle and then i just continue lie down there and rest. although im not dissy but i just lie down there and rest. coz still got 20 mins to class. so nothing to do also, so just sleep there lo. but then i think got someother ppl still need to donate so the nurse then ask me am i dissy if not then can go already. so i just walk away and go take my free food. haha... 

go there they give me a cup of hot milo and then a packet of things. inside is an apple, one bread and one packet of crysentenum drink. then i just take those things as my breakfast. then i can feel that my left hand is abit cold and stif. so i keep on exercise my hand to let the blood circulate to the hand. 

it was quite fun to donate blood. at least now i over come my fear of donating blood. but i still cant over come my fear of needle. i will still scared to go for any injection. it is pain.....

so for those who scared bout donating blood, try it sometime, it is not that bad. only the 1st needle that is pain. i think that needle is anastasia to numb the hand. so when the big needle go in u will not feel a thing. so try someday. and for those who under weight, please eat more and be fatter so that next time u all can qualified to donate blood. Haha....

too bad oRoro never take any picture. haha... but never mind la next time still got chance. and thanks to oRoro to accompany me. hehe...
