Blood Donation
I just came from the hospital to visit my SIL. She had an operation around two weeks ago but she has been admitted back to the hospital due to severe weakness. She could hardly get up. Her CBC results show that she has anemia and needs immediate blood transfusion. My husband and I went to the hospital to donate blood. We filled out some forms. The nurse took our blood pressure, temperature, heart rate and weight. I was shocked to learn that I’ve gained more weight. I might need to take effective diet pills to lose some weight. After several minutes we were examined by the doctor. He asked us some questions based on the information sheet we answered. It turned out that I could not yet donate blood as of the moment because I just had my period and I recently suffered from flu. My husband donated 450 ml of blood. It just took around 10-15 minutes. I stayed by my hubby’s side all the time. He was fine after the blood donation. He was even the one who drove us home.
