Giving Blood

Yesterday I gave blood in the blood Mobile that came to my work. It went pretty fast, for me at least. I took 12 of the 15 minutes you have to give the blood. I drank some juice and then walked over to the waiting area to get some cookies. When eating the cookies I started to get warm and nausea. So I stood up to get some water... bad idea, I got really light headed so I wave the flobotinist down and they took me back to a bed, elevated my feet and gave me a few ice packs to help me cool down. after another 10-15 minutes I was feeling fine again and went back into work. An hour later I got really nausea again so I went into and office laid down for 20 minutes and felt better. I know giving blood my make me feel bad for a day or so but I know it will help some one in much greater pain than I am in.
