Blood Donation

On Wednesday i donated blood i was scared but it wasn't too bad. The needle is the size of a ball pump.

First we had to fill out a form, it was very long. We then got our finger pricked and the blood tested to test our iron levels in our blood. We then sat in the chair where they put the needle in to your arm.

Everyone did well except for Ben because his blood stopped flowing.

Everyone said that the needle wiggled and it hurt but I don't know if they were exaggerating or if it was only my needle that didn't wiggle. But it did hurt a bit. Afterwards we got muffins.

I dropped mine.

  2. No more blood was going into his bag.

    Probably because he got nervous and he tensed.

  4. You only feel a bit dizzy if you stand up too fast and you feel a little week the next day but that's all.
