Minor complication from blood donation 

Did double red cell donation today; normally this is a very nice experience because you get some saline infusions to rehydrate you, but apparently today I accidentally got a little hole in my vein and all the saline just went into the space around my veins and muscles and such.

So now one of my arms is all inflated like a water balloon 😅 I will spare you the picture, but it looks like a lumpy potato 🥔😛

@Nekokawaigari Thanks, they said it is pretty common and the water will eventually get absorbed into the rest of my body.
