I am NOT a pincushion!

Don't have my count yet from this morning but I do have the following:
3 needle holes
2 nice rashes in the shape of the tape they used on my bandage

Today was crazy in the phlebotomy lab. All the Monday patients were there for rescheduled appointments PLUS they started a clinical trial so all those patients were there when I went. So I waited 30 minutes just to get a chair.

Apparently there is no blood running through my right arm. Or at least in the two places they tried to stick me.

There was some blood running through my left arm but just enough to drip, drop by drop, into the vial. She could only take a 1/2 vial for my CBC - it was taking that long.

ergh...
