What's your question: If I understand correctly, you were healthy enough to give/donate blood earlier this week. However, since then, you got sick enough to go to ER where you needed 1 1/2 bags of fluid, presumably due to dehydration which explains why they had difficulty getting into a vein, regardless of whether or not you'd recently donated blood. Hope you're feeling better. Follow up w/your Family Doc.
