All these years, I have never donated blood because I hate the sight of my own blood. But I made a promise to my father, one that intend on keeping. My father donated blood on a regular basis until the day he found out he had lung cancer. Now he cannot donate any more. So, on his behalf, I will begin to donate on, what I hope, is a regular basis.
I just found out that the campus will be having a blood drive tomorrow.
so I am a little nervous. What is the best way to prepare myself for this? Should I eat certain foods? Not eat certain foods? What should I drink, or not drink? How can I prevent myself from passing out?

I just thought of another question. Should I eat before I go or wait until after?
