I'm not a Pin Cushion!

So today, after fasting for 12+ hours, I went to the Health Center to get my blood drawn for the various tests I'm undergoing as mentioned previously.  After waiting for a good long while, they took me back to the torture chair where they proceeded to stick me with a needle FIVE TIMES!!  Five times (including once in my hand OuCH!) because my veins like to hide and they had a hard time finding them even after constricting my arm, making me pump my fist and using a heating device laid on my skin.  Can you say ridiculous?  The entire process took overan hour. Now, 5 hours later, my arms are black and blue and I got so many holes I look like I shoot up.  No more tests for me! Nu- uh!

  1. It doesn't get any better once you're pregnant! I think nurses in general are a little sadistic or just plain heartless.

  2. Hey, post something! The more you post, the more people read, but even if that doesn't work out, you should just do it for me. (And yourself) But mostly me.
