TweetI have never donated blood before, and I am so glad I didn't see the size of the needle before she stuck me...WOW! I'm thinking an 18g at least. Needed to lower my RBC count. Now I'm feeling pretty dizzy, and thankfully the wife is letting me lay down for a bit ha ha.
EDIT: So I was done at 8:30 am. I usually get to the gym around 8:30pm, have any of you lifted the same day of donating? Or just take the day off?
