Re: rough time
A cup of tea - yes - that works for a lot of people @outlander - I really don't like it but coffee - ah yes - I am about to drink mine right now
When I was a teenager I passed out from blood tests - maybe that still has and effect and why I focus on anything and everything but when I am getting blood drawn.
It really is a horrible feeling - and I am glad a cup of tea helps
Coffee does - yes - it really does -
All the best today Outlander

I just remembered I used to be a blood donor - now that is weird

@outlander
Ok, that's good, can you rest today, & do something nice? I never slept last nite, I had a GP appointment today to get a Prescription, I canceled it, until Wednesday. I'm too full of allergy & so tired & achy. I could not stand going to get a Prescription today, like this! 😞
I am just going to try & get some rest now, if it happens, it happens, at least I'm not sitting in the GP's waiting room feeling like this 😞 !!
Ok, I will sign off for now, love & hugs! Bella 🙂 Talk again soon!

Re: rough time
Yeah @MDT its done now. Theres abit of a tear and was told ill probably bruise and need to keep the bandaid on for at least a few hrs.
Cool @Owlunar we can have our hot drinks together then. I like caramel lattes but not much coffee. Im more os a sweet tooth in this respect. . I tried to focus on other things like the wheres wally on the wall and talking to the pathologist but didnt help this time. I wouldnt mind donating blood but i just cant face it that awful feeling i get just for the short time let alone a longer time im not sure i can handle that.
Thanks @frog that is a cute little emjoi youve got there. Made me smile.
@Former-Member you poor thing. It mightve been a good idea to go to the gp today so theu couldve helped you. If its not allergies you might need antibiotics. Can be hard to tell between illness and allergies sometimes.
Hugs for you too. Rest up

Re: rough time
You are a very kind, compassionate young lady @outlander and you deserve to be happy. Glad to hear you are at least a little bit past the shock of fainting. What are you going to do the rest of the day?

Re: rough time
Hi @Former-Member
I understand about the allergies - I get itchy eyes and it makes my vision blurry and I use eye-drops and I am not sure just how often I can use them so I am going to ask the pharmacist today
It's because my cat is shedding winter fluff called dander - and she is a small cat and a short hair but she has this dense underlayer that has kept her warm through this last winter which has been very cold - and I brush her often but my eyes itch so I get it and I feel for you
I have a sweet tooth too @outlander and I love caramel - the drink I like is Caramel Flavoured Up-and-Go which I have for my first breakfast when I take my tablets first thing - one thing about a drink in a box is that my cat can't drink it and she would - if she could - Companion Cat is often into mischief but she is not a mean cat - a friend of mine had to care for her daughter's cat and that cat was really spiteful - my cat is just clever
Giving blood used to be something nearly everyone where I worked did every few months - the Blood Bank was close and we had time off work and our pay wasn't docked - the deal was great back then - we were there for about an hour and they gave us free tea or coffee, biscuits and sweets afterwards. We were lying down before during and after the donation and we were fussed over - actually I had forgotten until I wrote the previous post about being a blood donor
I can't donate now - because I am too old and then there is my medication - but I have been in the tropics - apparently that rules out blood donations too
The things I recollect and the things I learn as I get older - actually I think this is the Good Old Days

Re: rough time
Allergies are horrible @Owlunar im severely allergic to dust pollen and thr likes so i have to be careful.
Ah what a clever girl. It would be very sweet smelling milk for her too. Not suppose to have it though even though we often like to share with them.
Ah yeah they have to be careful with blood so have strict guidelines. Im not sure id be able to donate with all the stuff im on. I think ill stick to other donations like the charity bags i do.
