I donated blood today. They had to put the cold water soaked paper towel on my poor sweating and terrified forehead. They kept telling me to lie back down whenever I got up to see how full the bag was getting. I thought sitting up would make blood flow faster, and get it all over with sooner. Plus I wanted to make sure I'd still be able to stand up. I'm just no good at donating blood. Then I felt all groggy for the rest of the day. Just think...soon someone may be walking around with my blood coursing through their veins! Almost makes that horrible car wreck worth it!
