See, I'm the opposite. Once you get a spot on me, the square inch is verboten for weeks.

So to add insult to injury, they have to keep finding new places to stick you? I feel a lot luckier now for my one little vein that could.

It seems futile to keep saying how much I wish you could find some real relief, ita, but I do wish it fervently.

once the needles in, it's not really that painful, so I wasn't bothered

Maybe they're more random with me, but that's when I find it the most painful and when I bruise the worst.

Thursday night I had one miss that was a gusher--took three pieces of gauze to soak up the blood, but it still wasn't a good stick. Took four more to hit home, and then I moved during the saline drip and lost it entirely (it was in right by the knuckles) so the last meds went in IM because they weren't willing to go through the hunt again--already worn out two nurses getting the abortive one in.

I'm a bruise from elbow to knuckle. When the CSIs find my corpse they will file me under clumsy junkie.

I do wish it fervently.

Thank you. I don't say it enough, but I highly appreciate all the good wishes of the buffistas.

Me too. It's the poking around underneath the skin that really hurts.

I so know who to call when and if we decide to do any home improvement around here.

We're watching the UFC fight. Results spoiler:Randy Couture lost to Brock Lesner. Pretty good fight, though.

I can handle needles unless I look. I once had a nurse try to insert an iv in a hand that has some tiny scars on the back and she had to root around to get a vein. And a horrible Serbian phlebotomist have to root around during a donation gone very wrong.

I don't donate anymore because I'm always one or two points off on my iron, no matter how hard I try to push it up. I wish they would loosen the standards between men & women on iron.

I don't say it enough, but I highly appreciate all the good wishes of the buffistas.

They are continuous, of course.

So, I was just wondering why the fuck I was still up watching SNL when it's not even funny, when: bonus Justin Timberlake! Good times. Now I can go to bed.

I'm not particularly needle squeamish, which is a good thing given the current conversation.

I'm trying to decide if I'm awake enough to put in hair color right now, or if I'd rather a) go to bed or b) watch a movie.

DUDE! I should be in bed. poop.

It's late msbelle, you should be in bed.

What? That didn't help?

ppffffbbbttt. I was in the middle of uploading pictures. NOW I go to bed.
