This Blows

Thursday

The photo does not even do my bruise justice. This is what happens when you have veins that are notoriously difficult to get blood from combined with a blown vein. Whenever I have to have blood drawn they get one chance in each arm and then I make them take it from the hand. This past Saturday, I don't know what happened, but when I saw my skin actually bubble up I knew that it wasn't going to be pretty. Then when the nurse brought an ice pack out to put on my hand I knew for sure.

  1. Aw man, OW. That looks painful. Suspect it isn't tho? I'm really lucky I have good veins, I know. Having blood drawn is usually a non-event for me.
