Can't watch, myself, but otherwise, I am with you - doesn't (usually) hurt, although some phlebotomists have the touch, and some, well, not so much. Keep this up, and you will be one of those 5 (10?) gallon folks like me when you are old!<BR/><BR/>btw - you are helping far more than one person - the components of your blood are used for several.<BR/>Any rate, thank you. Many folks don't seem to realize what a precious gift this is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12884214.post-1140018889743160122006-02-15T09:54:00.000-06:002006-02-15T09:54:00.000-06:00I can't stand the needle in the arm bit.

Luckily, I have ropes for veins and I've never had a miss. You're a trooper for putting up with the multiple tries.Dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02095397634960180688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12884214.post-1139848140066726642006-02-13T10:29:00.000-06:002006-02-13T10:29:00.000-06:00Amelie,I am sorry it took so many sticks to get yo...Amelie,<BR/><BR/>I am sorry it took so many sticks to get your blood but from someone who uses and needs blood on occasion, thank you. If you saw a picture of my body today, you would know that Mary Shelley’s, “monster” or her “Frankenstein” was indeed alive surviving its icy grave - me, today, now the “Modern Prometheus.”Eddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15579869274249466737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12884214.post-1139627584212050092006-02-10T21:13:00.000-06:002006-02-10T21:13:00.000-06:00Oh good gawd!
