Most people unfortunately have to deal with blood work at some point in their lives – I feel for those with chronic illness, getting blood drawn can be a frequent (and often frustrating) occurrence.
For me, the worst part is once a year it can be a toss up if they will find my very small veins. This can often results in the phlebotomist needing to stick me about five or six times before they can find a vein with adequate blood flow. I don’t hold it against them, but still – it’s no fun to walk out of the lab with your arms and hands covered in gauze and bandages.
Today was a good day with only one jab to get the samples for my annual checkup. Yippy!🎉 As unenjoyable as having blood work done can be, sometimes one of the best ways to cope is with a little humor.
I told my technician that the one good thing about blood test is that it's one test I don't have to study for. However, the bad news is I had to skip breakfast and the way the waiting list looked I was starting to worry about lunch! 😂
Hope your day is going as good or better...
