Theres one thing i hate - well theres quite a few things, but the number one thing is blood tests. Only my left hand side allowed for the blood letting and i have one vein thats ok (in my hand) and another that plays ball very occasionally.
BUT i am a grown-up and so off i go taking a book as the waiting time can be horrendous. 'shall i come in?' asks hubby who doesnt understand my hatred of phlebotomy! HA no way (said it a bit nicer than that - just!). in and out in ten minutes, lovely lady and blood ran like liquid gold!!
the fear is more painful than the deed i think, well mostly. so many thanks to the lovely lady at St Albans Path Lab, I shall visit you again.
By the way, before you all think oh what a lovely person Kazzle is - when they take blood on the ward I squeeze my hubbies hand as hard as i can.... a pain shared is sweet joy ;)
