So, I went in to give blood at 1:15. I just got back.



I went in answered all of the questions, la la la. I said they could choose which arm as it typically changes as to which one is better. They chose left. Couldn't stick it. Wonderfully beautiful vien sitting right there and for some reason they couldn't stick it. Not that they didn't try. He he he... Ow! He.. he he... You okay? Oh yea. I'm fine. Ow. So, they bandage that arm up and a different lady comes over to try on my right arm. I turn around and after some poking around, we get it in my right arm. I bleed quickly once I start, but damn if getting there isn't a pain.

So now I'm a little giddy and my arms hurt. He he he...

Ow - one of my arms has a tendon /right/ under the major vein. It's always been fun to be used as a test object.

Yeah. Once someone hit a nerve and after intense pain my arm went numb. That was fun. Really. Yeesh.

I really enjoy giving blood, just there are always some issues with it for me.

scarred veins?

Re:

I don't know why they would be. It's possible, but my veins just seem to slide around when they try to stick them with a needle.

Too many sticks = scarring.

Hmmmm. Yeah, but I haven't given blood all that often. I haven't been in the hospital that many times. I never used drugs with needles...

Like I said, seems possible, but it would be odd.

Some people scar easier than others. It could happen.
