Yes finally I did donate blood. Today when I was at the gym, the staff from the blood central called me and asked if I had time to swing by and donate blood. I was going to go out with my mom so it qorked out perfectly. I told my mom to come with me, but since I know she hates blood I told her that I am just going to grab something fast. When we got there I told her that I don’t feel well and they are going to run some blood test on me and she got all serious and sad. I just laughed at her and told her that I was just joking; I was just going to donate blood. She got so mad at me for fooling her like that but she sat next to me and acted like I was going through a surgery haah. I got a sweet mother.
After I was done with giving blood, the lady at desk gave me some very important information that I did not know about. She told me that I have to drink a lot of water these days and that my condition will be decreased for four weeks. The reason why this happens is because I gave about 10% of my blood and when I work out the blood is transferring oxygen to my muscles so now when I have less blood, my body will have a slower flow to my muscle which means I will have an decreased condition. BUT if I keep on working out a lot then when my body is restored again, I will have a greater condition than I had before giving blood. So you see, it is a win win situation.
