One, Two, Three, Four, Five…

SIX… it took six tries and a hour to get a vein yesterday before my scan…and FIVE veins on my left arm blew…that is a total of SIX blown veins in a week…the only explanation has to be that the anemia is doing something to my veins…cause this has never happened before…*This might sound weird but I think God prepared me for it…on Thursday I decided I was going to have a ‘Good Attitude Day’ Saturday…I was not going to be annoyed if I had to wait…I was going to be nice to and patient with everyone…and I was…I wasn’t bubbly by any means…but I did not have an attitude…it isn’t their fault I had to get this test on a week I work…it isn’t their fault if I have to wait a while…and they don’t deserve my frustration…things need to be done right, I’m not at a store, I’m in a hospital, people matter, and I am not always the first or the most important…I am thankful for the preparation…God knows me…knows how I work…and is teaching me…everyday…*I like nothing more than to be a human pincushion, and having a snake of bruises up my arm…they are not as bad as the first bruise but I definitely look like I’ve been abused…I have to go Monday morning for more blood work…here’s hoping that they can find a vein that will give blood!
