My First Blood Donation
January 29th, 2009 at 11:41pm
I survived my very first blood donation. Maybe it was my fear of needles that made it more painful than it should have. Plus, I was really squeamish. I could barely hold on to the stress ball that the med technician told me to squeeze. Anyways, I survived and I know I will be doing more of it once I am able.
I even took pictures of my arm and my blood bag. I am so proud of myself.

I still hate needles even until after I underwent my first blood donation. And I still donate every year. I just constantly remind myself that a couple of minutes in contact with the needle can save a life. It’s my driving force.
It’s a brave move and you’ve taken the first step. Congratulations!
my first blood donation is memorable too…. looking forward on my next donation
