Yesterday, Canadian Blood Services was at my building to have a Blood Donor Clinic.

that's happened to me more times then i can count ;)

especially since i have to have blood drawn either through my wrist or my feet!!!
(small veins, it sucks)
my problem is more with seeing my own blood then with needles...i can see other peoples blood, but my own? i pass the fuck out ;)

keep drinking fluids...try gatorade, gatorade cures everything ;)
and saltine crackers!!!

and keep us updated on how you're feeling...please?

*hugs you*
*and hugs angela for taking good care of you*

Thanks so much Angel.

The nurses were saying it could have been caused by a number of things. Not a good enough night sleep, not enough fluids during the day, seeing the blood...they assured me that it happens to a lot of people. But apparently, I was one of the fastest they have seen. I might have set a record. :)

I'm doing a lot better. I'll give Angela a hug tomorrow when she comes back over. She's going to make me all better.

Brian that's so scary! Glad to hear your okay though and that Angela takes good care of you :D I would say no to any extra blood giving...I know it's an admirable thing to do but we don't want any more passed out Brians! I get out of the whole blood donation thing cause of my kidney. Yeah one kidney LOL
