📝 AITA for canceling a girls' evening out because of medical advice ?

So, I (18F) , along with some friends, but most importantly J(18F) had been wanting to hang out before the Easter break, which lasts for around a week where I live. We couldn’t meet earlier because we’ve both been busy with classes and so on.

I got called by the hospital because I had been given an appointment for blood donation (i donate blood) this Friday morning. TAKE INTO ACCOUNT I DIDNT KNOW THE DATE OF THE APPOINTMENT BEFOREHAND. I went there and donated, things went well. As I’m typing this in the afternoon, I still feel exhaustion and tiredness (which is usual). One of the main advices doctors give you after these types of donations is to not engage in physical exercise, as it’s easy to faint or get quite dizzy.

Next thing I do, obviously, is text J when I get out and tell her that I can’t hang out in the end, since for the plan it would mean too much exercise (walking for hours) and that I am not physically able. I wasn’t able to really rest until midday, I take care of my grandma and had to put away medical advice for chores like groceries or helping her get to places (otherwise there ain’t food in the house k). My legs are slightly trembling now and overall exhaustion so obviously I ain’t going to hang out.

I explained this to J and all she did was give me dry answers which she does when mad. Now she’s not answering and that’s weird because she usually takes a few minutes to answer and it’s been hours. She’s upset with me and won’t talk to me because of this and I already expressed that I genuinely wanted to hang out and that if it wasn’t because of this physical things of course I would spend time together this evening.

Forgot to mention that it wasn’t just me and J, even if I didn’t go there was another girl going with J so she would’ve went out anyway. So I wasn’t exactly “making her stay inside bc I didn’t go”

But no answer. AITAH?
