Collapse after Donating Blood
Today didn't really start well.
Woke up late.
Decided that it will be a blessing. Did my quiet time. Lots of doubts flood me.
God as arranged time in a way that I had to choose either Him or FYP.
I asked...Why Lord....Have I not proven enough that you come before even my studies?
I knew it's not enough or it would not have plague me to choose God first.
Anyway...God answered immmediately. With the example of abraham.
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
Hebrews 11:8
In short, I need not worry but proceed knowing that God has a plan for me.
Well...i kept it to heart and set of for School.
Agenda of the day.
1) Reformat Hp Tablet
2) Get Strum
3) Donate Blood
4) SYFC Camp Committee meet
5) Meet Amos's PEP
Well....class...was noisy today. Solomon got castrated by Zhi Ping ....and well....Jimmy and Zhi ping disturb Jaime with the volley ball and then began singing patriotic songs. Issac tried to bounce the ball off the wall and failed....oh by the way..it's classroom setting. Haha...cute class.
I never intend to participate in the lesson today...but I ended up doing so and I must say...quite and fine and fast job I did.
Donated blood....OH THIS IS INTERESTING! HAhaha...
THis is my third time. I'm still scared.. The momentum was lost. Still I'm convicted to look as the needle poke into my veins. I went through the whole ordeal ! Proud that I did not look away.
Hees! Objective accomplished!
I am now not afraid of needles and blood drawing that much.
Fantastic work!
Anyway...I don't really know why but alot of people...ahem...ladies...kept looking at me. Throughout. Am I doing something wrong or what. I think I'll just credit it to my great looks. Hahah..oops..
Anyway, It was done . 450 ml of blood is gone. The medical personnel came. Removed the blood bag, and ask to see if I'm ok. Me feeling lots of red flags coming up but unable to pinpoint why decided to say yes. He asked me to go to the donor's lounge to get some food and drink. I got up, in the back of my mind I thought...shouldn't I lay down for at least 10mins before getting up? It's written in the card they pass out....but i have not even rested a minute. Anyway, feeling confident, I gingerly got up and walk. The Medical personnel held my hands and bag and walk me to the donor's lounge some....10 meters away.
THEN THEN! I started to feel light headedness, Then I told the medical personnel who seems unresponsive, after the 2nd to 3rd warning, it gotreally bad...So I decided to sit down while I can......and yeap....
The medical people started to flood me!
Haha....
I laid on the floor not far from the donating spots. The nurses and doctors attended to me. had to lay down with my feet elevated. I felt weak , hungry, and dizzy. Tiredess the most of all. Wow...and I felt better after this doctor gave me a drink. Then the people around are so nice, offer me drinks too...I was treated like royalty foe quite a long while, and erm...soon I am transferred to a proper lying place and given 3 blankets....I'm shivering....
All this while, My camp had been posted and daniel msg me to inform me...which is great! I'll need the rest. But I was not allowed to leave till.....6 ++ LOL....I came at 5....By the time I'm finish, My lappy is locked up by IT help Desk...Awww...Luckily I brought 2 lappys today.
Arghh...tired....to type....
Anyway, going Carrie's home tml! YEAHHH! DINO TIME!
