Today I had several vials of blood drawn as requested by my OBGYN doctor. I flinched quite a bit when the kind, older lady stuck a needle in me. My face showed quite a bit of pain. With the needle in, she had me readjust my arm. She explained that my movement makes it hard to find the vain.
Then she asked me a silly question. "Are you okay?"
I'm trying not to let the tears in my eyes spill over as I say, "It just hurts."
She responds, "Of course."
Maybe she was afraid I'd faint, and thus the question.
You are so cute. I hope it doesn't hurt. Maybe ice cream would help?
ReplyDeleteI'm just hoping it doesn't bruise as bad as last time a nurse drew blood. Having a bruise to my elbow wasn't exactly fun or pretty.
ReplyDeleteTaking a nap helped the pain go away. :)
I was so happy to get to spend some time with you this past week. I am tickled pink about the baby. You and Kyle are in for the ride of a lifetime! Jennifer made the comment to me yesterday that she is in awe about how much her thinking has changed since becoming a mama! Your priorities certainly reprioritize!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
P.S. Getting up to go to the bathroom is God's way of preparing you to never have a solid night's sleep again-at least not for awhile!
