when someone takes 13 vials of blood from a single vein, it makes your arm ache..

who knew.

before today my highest number was 9 vials...
today however they pulled 13 large vials.
luckily i have a realy good arm "vein" for blood, very prominant, large and never colapses...
so she whent at that one and she was very good...

this poor vein has been through hell this past month or so, my gyno ordered bloodwork, then my psych ordered blood, then my pcp, and now this one for some other health stuff going on...

its kinda ridiculous because many of the tests are the same ones and ive had over and over in all 4 testing groups lol, but they each wanted their own redo aparently.

the good news is i should now be good for another 6 months...

my poor little blood vessle, ive promised it a break.

the bad news is its aching and theres a small deep red bruise right on the vein..., which means theres a deep bruise going on in there (lol im sooo used to having blood done lol) so its oging to ache for a few days and ive got about 30 plants to get in the ground...*DOH*

so, what did YOU learn today?

I am a big chicken. :cool:

I am getting a tooth pulled tomorrow afternoon and am so anxious about it I didn't get a thing done today. I also for some reason decided to only take half a day off so I am supposed to go to bed and get up at 5am and go into work and be able to focus? What was I thinking?!

13 vials? Ouch. Hope your arm starts feeling normal again soon!

I learned that in a battle of wills (me trying to stay asleep and the dogs trying to wake me up) the dogs will always win.
