I was bleeding...
Saturday, 20 December 2008
for a good cause!
I donated blood for the second time!
Yay for me.
Blood Donation Campaign at Buhavan Square
Smile for the camera
I passed the screening test (blood pressure, BMI, temperature, and pulse) and this is my "present"
Donation in progress. You will lie down on a bed or cot, then the medical assistant will tighten a wrapping, called a tourniquet, on your upper arm to increase the pressure on the veins in your arm so they will swell. This makes it easier to identify the larger veins and to insert the needle into the vein. The medical assistant will clean the area where the needle will be inserted with an antiseptic wash, then insert a large needle into the vein. You will feel a slight sting as the needle goes in, but the rest of the procedure should be painless. The blood flows through a tube into a sterile plastic bag that holds around one pint (450 ml) of blood, also called one unit.
After the procedure, Little S clutches me immediately to make sure I was okay.
