But for the most part,I don't see anything of a prob being done, It's routine with going to my doc and she's pretty good about having it taken, like today I suspect she is going to have it taken and I'll be ok with that, I don't really mind that and like I said it's a little bit uncomfortable when taken, but not much of a concern for me when it is, s vent here about it, what do you think and such etc, wondering

I always warn them my veins can roll and some of them run sideways. They like that one sideways one inside my elbow on my left arm to draw blood.because it's a good vein. I just prefer the right arm if it's going to be an IV since I'm left handed. Bloodtests i don't care. Just don't poke me and move the needle around because you missed your target. Get the light to find veins and someone who knows what they are doing. You aren't poking me again with needle.

I have no problem getting it drawn. I just remember as a kid, the nurses would fish around in someone's arm to find a vein. I have pretty good veins, so it's not been an issue.

I don't let it bother me . Now if they try in a place they never did before that would be a problem

Thanks for the hug. Even today it can take a few tries to find a good vein. I learned to drink enough water. It helps.
