:( not doing so well today...

[Guest guest]

hay y'all.

donated pint #2 last nt...thank god I finished...bec it wasmn't good.

She was just taking out the needle and pakcing up and I got all light

headed...mind you if it was just this, ok. but nope...spinning,

sweating then hyper ventilating, even though I was really controling

my breathing-trying like hell to avoid this...then I threw up-lots

o'fun, and started shaking-bouncing is more like it...and mind you,

good thing I am not so modest bec there were others all around

donating, heck prob scared them!

FINALLLLLLY that passed...then froze and shivered...tried to drink my

juice...(proud that I spiled nothing on me in this process)...and

quite a while later, settled enough to move, snack and drink to have

my fiance drive me home...I was there like 2.5 hrs...yup.

NG.(not good)

and ironic part is that my iron was ABOVE where it needed to

be...felt ok, just the past few days a little weak at the end of the

work day...but ok...

nope.

when I got home...it was so hot and humid...still was

sweating/freezing, but no fever,,,tried to drink w/o throwing up

again, bec my " insides " weren't doing well either...and I think I

managed 2 slices of cheese for dinner...and kept that down.

today, my motor skills are shot at best and I look like a ghost

(w/make up)...I'm all shakey and weak and am not getting up Unless

TOTALLY necessary...drinking gatorade, eating small things, but

trying to keep eating. I waant to feel better. I thought I was

tougher I guess, which inside, freaks me out a bit for surg, last

time I had a big surg was 12 yrs ago, I'm not tht young anymore...I

can take pain, I can take annoyance (wired) but this is insane. I

just want to sleep and not move, but a. I'm working, b. have a 5p OS

apt-for " my plan " and going home then back will give me like 3 hrs of

driving and that's not resting.

perhaps what freaks me out most,when I was last wired it was for an

accident, I fell in college, just got dizzy, tried to get help and

colasped onto the floor-think nestea plung but no pool and forward.

That was the last time I passed out, and what a not nice feeling, so

scary and what a reminder...I told the rn once I was speaking ok

again last nt, if she offered me 1 million $ I would not have gotten

up fof that chauir. no way.

over that now, just wish I was further along. (and sorry to you guys

that are post-op, I must sound like a wussss big time, who am I to

complain about this, but I really feel like crap and wasn't expecting

this.)

thanks and if anyone has any exp w/this...share please. I feel sorta

freakish and wussy big time.
