No need for that haha, the real gift was doing hopefully something for dragon, or someone else depending on type. I think the sick feeling, however, will be the gift that keeps on giving tonight.
But we made it. The lady who took the blood did a good job of trying to get me to focus on anything else and stop squirming which were largely to no avail but props for trying ![]()
Fucking miserable experience, still don’t know my blood type, but I think they said I’ll get a report in a week. Idk. I didn’t really understand much after I got seated as I was freaking out too much to really be able to ![]()
that must’ve been the longest 10 min give or take a few I’ve had in a very long time.
go donate folks if my bitch ass can do it so can u. Unless u habe HIV in which case I would recommend u don’t.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I just got a mental image is the blood flowing down the tube and need to go and once again empty my stomach into the toilet:sunglasses:![]()
Some actually important things:
They seemed interested that I lived in Austria, probably related to mad cow? But that was more recent so I suppose that got me through that hoop.
I do believe the org I got blood drawn at is legit because it apparently is associated with the hospital right across road. It’s here for any other Taichungians (Taichungers?) Interested
For 1et time I think they limit to 250ml which is merciful, if I had to do a 500 it would’ve been agony, and they said I could come back in 2 months to give more. While I like the idea of that from a human well-being perspective my current brain thinks that if it’s a choice between getting put on those tubes and dying I’d rather the latter.
Might want to take someone to arrange transportation back home. I ended up going to a Starbucks and drinking some awful sugary shit to slowly recover from the dizziness which for me lasted like two hours, the first 10-15 min of which was seriously not fun. Rode home after but that wasn’t fun and I do not recommend it
Yeah that’s about it. Fuck.
