WARNING: Needles
Don't you just love having your blood drawn at 7.30 am, without having had breakfast ? ... No, didn't think so. Well, that's what I had done this morning.
It went ok, though the nurse missed the blood vessel on her first try and had to go for another one. Luckily that one came through and they only needed enough for 3 tests, so I was in and out really fast. The nurses in this town are excellent at drawing blood, at least my blood, and I know that from experience.
For some reason it's tricky to get my veins to co-operate. They'll sort of 'slip away' (as many people wearing white uniforms have put it) or refuse to show themselves at all. Back in winter they had to put this heated cloth on my arm for a couple of minutes, just to lure them out into visibility, haha.
And using a regular needle is impossible in my case. They have to use the 'baby needle', which is a very thin needle attached to a tube that transports the blood to the little glass container. Whee, I'm a big baby :p
The nurse remembered that when I came in today, which was ... both nice and sad. Nice because I didn't have to bring it up and feel stupid for not having 'good veins'. Sad because I've actually been there and have my blood drawn so frequent that they remember me. Heh.
Having that done is never nice, but as long as it's here in my home town I'll be fine with it. But I've had nightmarish experiences in other towns.
This one time they tried 4 times on my right arm and 3 times on my left arm. After that they still didn't have enough to do all the tests they needed, ngh.
And my younger sister gets away with having her finger pricked for her blood testing.... Hm. Good for her, I guess :p
Right. Kill Bill vol II. I was going to talk about it. Today. But. My intelligence isn't up to scratch and it's not nice to feel like you're going to come off as a brainless moron the moment you open your mouth.
So. I'm not going to :o
*runs and hides before anyone can grab her*
