why do we need to extract yet more blood from my body? isn't that the reason we have to have all of this done in the first place, that i am losing way too much blood? but noooo, apparently everyone needs their own little sample. and by little of course i mean gallons drained by garden hose crammed repeatedly into my arm until they finally manage to hit a vein.


i am almost dreading today more than the surgery on wednesday. because at least on wednesday they give you really good drugs and you sleep while they gleefully cackle and take samples and blood and cut and drill and hack. but not today. today they will mine my arms, hands, feet, wherever until they finally believe me that i have difficult veins. (me, difficult? lol)


so i am off and hoping that i get someone with half a brain to do the blood draw today. but i am sure that won't be the case and one of them will flap in from their dark cave and start the bloodsucking process.

feh.
