The Torture Continues

I'm fairly certain the girl who was working on my left arm had no idea what she was doing because she was causing a lot of pain and could not get a good poke to save her life. She tried all the tricks. Had me pump my fist, used the rubber band thing on my arm, slapped my arm, nothing worked for her. The guy on my right got more lucky. He struck gold. Because the girl on my left was a little incompetent, The guy had to take about 5 valves of blood from my right arm. This left a HUGE bruise on my arm that didn't fade away til about 2 weeks later. It hurt and was so traumatizing. That little incident caused me about 4 bruises between the 2 arms.

Then came the IV. This was even worse than the two nit wits drawing blood. Once again, I have terrible veins so the lady took about 5 minutes to find a vein she thought she could get at. Apparently I had a vein that was there and was fairly decent but every time she tried to poke it, which was about 16 times, it would move on her. So she dug around a little to try and get it, but believe it or not, that didn't work either. What a shocker. So far, that has hurt the worst. The IVs aren't really needles. They're plastic tubes that has another little plastic tube in that so they're easy to change. And of course this plastic tube they're sticking in me is bigger than a needle. So she decided to try the top of my hand. She found one she thought she could get and was successful, but unfortunately, she collapsed my vein. Another bruise. My favorite. She tried once again on my forearm with no success, so she decided to call in the big guns.

The next nurse who came in to poke me was the roughest of them all. I think I cried the whole time she was in the room. It hurt so bad when she was trying to get to my vein. She was not being gentle at all. It was really scary and my mom kept telling me to calm down so I don't move my arm but it was hard. Thankfully, she finally got it in. Then after they got it in, I was afraid to move my arm because every time I did, I would feel it move in my arm and that is the most disgusting feeling ever.
