Blood Donation

Blood can save lives
Blood is essential for the body
Without blood, we'll die
Without blood, no transport can occur in the body system

Yesterday, I had my blood extracted from my body
My first ever blood donation
My blood pressure was right
Blood density was right
Blood type is secret
As stingy as my blood type can be,
I'm not stingy at all to donate

Every noises that I heard from the room was
"It's gonna be painful", "The needle is as big as a pencil lead"
Owh...how is it gonna be?
But I told myself to face it no matter what.
I told myself, "No matter how bad the needle will look like
or how big the size will be,
I'm gonna look at the process of the needle going into my skin
and not run away from it."

"XX XXX XXX" I heard my name being called upon
I sat down there and the nurse asked me to squeeze on a pill bottle alike object
And then he injected anaesthetic on my arm
Then, another injection and this time is to get blood from me
The needle's hole was really big this time! I thought "It might hurt like hell!"
Just a little tingling sensation but not painful,
Oh, the anaesthetic really worked!
Then, my blood rushed out really fast
By the time the nurse saw my blood bag,
"Sudah penuh kawan kita"
I told him that the blood bag looks like it's gonna explode.

400pint of blood was extracted, according to the book
But I guess it's about 500pint. lolz.

That's my first blood donation experience.
We were given a packed of dutch lady chocolate milk,
A packet of egg sandwich, 1 kg milo and 20 sachets of Nesvita.
Just what JJ and I needed as our Kokorich is finishing.
JJ and I got one pack each and we have a lot of Nesvita and Milo stocks for now.
Hehehe..
