I'm getting better at IVs, which I hate, and there's no problem with simply blood tests. BUT, I once had a test for carbon monoxide poisoning and they told me it would hurt, so I was prepared. Well, I went into shock - they have to go to the artery just at your wrist! Second try, I managed by doing Lamaze breathing! That was awful. So sorry you had to experience this and hope the bruise disappears quickly.Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993625127076778295.post-24241472007379264822015-10-07T23:25:38.243+01:002015-10-07T23:25:38.243+01:00I so sympathize with you.

When I think I have figured out the work schedles of all the poor drawers, one changes up with another. And, I have lovely veins to work with; there is no excuse for a bruise or a bleed.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993625127076778295.post-20461683389693627662015-10-07T23:10:20.456+01:002015-10-07T23:10:20.456+01:00My sympathies to you, and I second Julie: let some...My sympathies to you, and I second Julie: let someone at the facility know! At the very least, your action may spare someone else a painful experience. <br />I had a similar experience when my stitches had to be removed... The nurse cut the "thread", grabbed it and tried to yank it out of my hand - and drew blood.Ouch... <br />Feel better!Katyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052803143157458386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993625127076778295.post-47236037829407163092015-10-07T22:29:01.180+01:002015-10-07T22:29:01.180+01:00My goodness you poor thing!
