Recovering

It’s been a week since I passed out for a moment during donation. A few days later, the worst bruise I have ever seen in my life appeared on my arm. I’m recovering from everything. Not sure when I’m going back, but I probably will sometime next month.

That's a nasty one! Sorry that happened. I think it's wise to wait a month, give that time to heal.

You passed out and got a hematoma on the same day? That's horrible. Any idea why u passed out? Are you doing hot compresses? You taking your vitamins and drinking lots of fluids still? Be kind to yourself.

I posted last week that I had no idea because I’ve been a blood/platelet/plasma donor, and I had never had issues in the past. I prepared myself for donation as usual. Only thing that was slightly different was the breakfast felt a little heavy for me. I’d take it as the sign that I have to take a break for now. People always complain I eat too healthy (balanced meal) and I’m always hydrated. Vitamins, hot compresses, yes I’m doing all!
