just got back from Path - things never work out how you expect them too so I waited until today ensuring I got to see Pam and Pam had the week off anyway the Path nurse Narelle was lovely I felt sorry for her though. I did tell her I had bad veins and that soaking in hot water would be the best method.
She went for a vein about 3 inches below my elbow crease it hurt like buggery, she moved it a little deeper and I jumped because it hurt and we had to start again because we didn't get enough.
She tried a bit higher up 2 inches above the elbow crease and the vein collapsed then she tried the other arm on the elbow crease and wrist (ooowwweee) with no luck.
Then we soaked my hands in hot water and bingo got enough out of the left hand FINALLY.
So now I wait for the results and start my protest against AF she is due today and I always MC when AF is due
will keep you all informed thanks again for your support it makes the world of difference
