Doodeedooo
I gave blood yesterday, I had my first bad experience of them not getting the vein right away D:

The stuck it in and started moving it around and it hurt SO BAD. I had never felt anything like that when I had given blood before, it was horrible. And she couldn't get the vein so she had to ask someone else to help so I had to sit there with it shoved really deep in my arm until the other lady fixed it and as soon as she did it was fine. It hurt. Now I really feel bad for my mom, they can never get hers on the first try and her veins will pretty much move, there have been times she couldn't donate because they like mangled her arm so bad with the needle D:
It sucked but it was fine after it got fixed.

And Lara has mono. No idea where she got it from but on Tuesday night they had to take her to the hospital (She went on Sunday and they told her she just had a really bad sore throat) and I guess the place she initially went to lost her blood and urine samples and they have no record of her being there... but she is at home now and she has already basically missed a week of school and now she will have to miss another... and I just thought about the fact that our lease signing is going on... I hope she has done that already.

Yeah, so it has been crazy.

And I have so much homework.

And I want to change my icons again sook, I have some new fun ones I want to use :P

Ja ne!

Ah... being a Hard Stick sucks. I feel for you, I'm a Hard Stick and sounds like your mom is as well.

If you haven't figured it out Hard Stick is a nurses term for having trouble finding a vein. Each time they needed to take my blood, I've had it taken in various ways. First attempt was with a needle jabbed into my arm... that failed horrendously after the first two tries so they finally stuck a butterfly on my wrist. I think my worst one was when they brought me into another room completely and said they were going to get my blood. I was PREPARED for a needle to the arm and several repeated attempts. Suddenly they strapped my arm down to the table, much to my surprise as she holds up a finger shaped blade... yeah. Jabbed it into my index finger and proceeded to drain my finger of blood. Worst, blood drawing, experience EVER.

Alrighty, hope things work out well for you. Be well.

D:
That sounds horrible! Wow. I can't imagine that. I would be like 'Nope, not doing it, no way!'

For me they usually don't have any trouble at all, I've never had trouble with my right arm for having blood drawn (donating or otherwise) but I've only had blood taken from my left arm twice and this time was the first I've been a 'Hard Stick' and now I feel really bad for anyone who is. My mom is definitely a hard stick though, she has seriously had times she tried to donate and she couldn't because they had twisted the needle around in her arm so much. D:

And thank you!

Yeah... it was more of my surprise. If I remember correctly the (one sided) conversation went like this.

*Is looking around the room arm on the table ready for the "needle" suddenly arm is strapped down*
"Huh?"
*Sees Blade*
"Uh... what're you doing with that?"
*Sees Nurse grab hand*
"What're you doing with that?"
*Raises needles*
"Oh! $#!^!"
*Blade is Jabbed down, surprised shout, brother laughing hysterically in the background*
