By giving blood. Donation time rolled around, and I don't think I ate enough before I donated. I was fine throughout the donation (even during the ritual search for delicate veins that roll). I was fine at the recovery station. [livejournal.com profile] lawnchair suggested getting some Jade Garden for takeout (as it is right there). That's where I suddenly felt it. Lawnchair got me water, then helped me lay back on the chairs. We disagree if I fainted (but I didn't throw up this time). Some one ran over and got one of the blood nurses to check me out. Apparently they'll tell you the opposite advice of dentists - drink sugary water. Feeling much better now.

I still curse the day I donated blood. (still paying for it too).
Not losing your cookies is a good thing.

I like to give blood, but apparently I'm just not a good candidate. They're not willing to take any from me for a year. And I'd just reached a gallon.
