リモートワークの合間に献血。
I went to donate blood while working from home today.
サウナと同日に行くのはよくないとされている中で、ちょうどサウナが機械の故障で入れなかったのでちょうどいいと思い、行ってきた。
Normally, donating blood and going to the sauna on the same day isn’t good for your health, but since the sauna was closed due to a mechanical issue, I took it as an opportunity to donate.
今日は、少し食事してから行ったので、とくに問診で聞かれることはなかった。
This time, I had lunch beforehand, so unlike last time, I wasn’t asked any questions about my health during the medical interview.
いつも通りに献血がスタート。何回やっても慣れないけど、今日は早く終わったように感じた。看護師に聞いてみると、同じことを思ったそう。どうやら、人によって血流の速さに違いがあり、わたしはかなり早い方だという。
Even though I’ve donated blood many times, I still haven’t gotten completely used to it. However, today’s donation finished earlier than usual. I mentioned that to the nurse, and she agreed. According to her, the speed of blood flow differs from person to person—and mine is quite fast.
実際、わたしの前に献血室に入った人よりも早く終わったので、看護師の言う通りなのかもしれない。その後は、ゆっくりジュースを飲みながら安静にして、帰りにアイスをもらって帰った。このアイスをもらうために来たといっても過言ではない。めっちゃうれしい。
In fact, I finished before the person who started their donation before me, which seems to back up what she said. After that, I relaxed in the lounge with some drinks and, of course, grabbed some ice cream before leaving. To be honest, the ice cream is the biggest motivation for me to donate blood—so I was very happy to achieve my goal!
To be continued.
