Lauren's World

Bloody Mess

So I went to the blood center to give blood and become a marrow doner volunteer. I was just fine give the blood and right after. Well I was about to get up to leave when my stomach turned and the room wobbled violently. I felt like I was going to vomit before everything went black. I remember what I was dreaming when I passed out. I was floating rocking side to side in a wave of colors feeling sea sick then I felt like I was being pulled then the next thing I knew I was awake, my nose was burning and there were tears running down my face. They had used an amonia stick, it was so strong you could smell it across the room. They lifted me up and placed a bucket on my chest in which I promtly vomited.

From Laura's point of view I was sitting there then suddenly went limp. The nurses began to call my name, then I began to shake. They layed me down so that my head was lower then my body and pulled out the amonia stick.

When I went in my pulse was 98, when they took my vitals right after I woke up it was down to 60 when I left it was 70. My beginning BP was 112/68 my ending was 110/60.

Wow, that was intresting. Now about the giant brusing and red marks all over the inside of my arms, I look like a user! If I get a chance I will take a picture.

Yes I went into work and we did not get out until 11:30pm.
