Blood donation — A funny and embarrassing experience today :P
From last 4 years, I always wanted to donate blood. Since my weight was between 46–48 kgs, doctors never allowed me to donate. Recently, I just touched 50 kgs and I am just qualified to donate blood. I went to the camp and doctor checked my weight, hemoglobin and Blood pressure. Now, when my weight was fine, he said that my BP is slightly low. He advised me to come after 15–20 mins. I used my own trick, I mix soda with salt, had it and went back. Yayy!! Now I was allowed to donate. Seriously, I was feeling like an achievement.
The funniest part is the story of after donation. I had donated blood in the office-camp. After donating blood, I had juice and biscuits, rest for a while and back to work. I was happy with the blood donation and sad because I can’t go to the gym. After few minutes, I realized that not just gym, I was not able to go anywhere. Actually, I was feeling very giddy. I went to take milk and lied down on the sofa. I didn’t feel like walking. I didn’t have the energy to reach my desk. Funny thing was my colleagues knew that I can’t do it and when I did it, I felt sick. In the end, one of my colleagues took me home. I slept for few hours, had lots of food and back with the same energy. I was just consoling myself by saying “It’s Ok, I saved someone’s life.”
