I always find operating rooms freezing, but the humungous blower to warm the skin and float the vein up was great.

And as my daughter complained – they ask you not to drink, so your blood volume falls – so what do they expect??

Last time I think they resorted to his foot (!!!) but then he moved or something and a little blood spurted, and the tech gasped in surprise, and then my poor other half, not seeing what was going on, freaked a bit and moved more, and…(sigh) it was a bit messy. 😉

Anyway, I feel for you, Glenda!

Sorry to hear you were having a problem, I don't normally have that problem but recently one of the technicians who is supposed to take blood made a right botch of it so I know exactly what you mean.

What is the Apple Isle? Never heard it mentioned.

So it ought to be able to cross an itty bitty bit of sea, right?

I expect your arms are black and blue today, but I hope that will be the end of the problem forever!

I like them because they are butterflies too, which doesn't remind me of hospital. I hope you are feeling better now. When will I be able to buy your book in The Apple Isle???
