Hi everyone,
I had my pre op today.
All went well, apart from when we got to the blood test part.
I sit up on the bed and the nurse sits on a wheely computer style chair.
I’m very afraid of needles, I cry like an absolute baby as soon as they fluff up the pillow to rest my arm on.
Then the strap goes on tight and by this point I’m blubbering and shaking because I know it’s getting nearer.
The nurse starts to poke my vein like a thirsty vampire.
He reaches to sort the needle, I’m trying not to look while wiping tears away. But I see him coming back to my vulnerable arm so ... I use my foot to shove his wheely chair away!!! 😳
Can’t believe I did that! 🤦🏻♀️
Hope my story makes a few of you giggle
P.s. He got 3 large tubes of blood in the end
