HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

On Wednesday we went to Christa's house to make Valentine's cookies. (Christa is the nice mother who does these messy fun things!!!) We let the kids decorate the cookies by themselves. It was a lot of F U N!!! Thanks Christa for doing all the work and all the clean up!

The Phlebotomist from HELL!!!!

So I went to the doctor on Tuesday to have some blood work done and I felt like the Phlebotomist raped my arm. I tried taking pictures but it didn't do the damage justice. First of all I waited in the waiting room for 25 minutes. Just to see the doctor to say here is the order form for the Lab. Then I go out to the front desk and give the paperwork to the secretary. She tried telling me the Lab guy was in a meeting and I would have to come back. (By the way I was having blood work for my Thyroid and could not eat all day. So I was Starving!!!) I almost lost it right there on the secretary. Then they say I guess we can have a nurse do it. I wait another 15 minutes then this guy calls me back. He apologizes for taking so long his meeting ran late. So I guess the nurse couldn't do it after all. So he sits me down asks which arm. I pull my sleeve on my left arm up. He ties the big rubber band around my arm. Grabs the needle and gabs it all the way in my arm. ALL THE WAY!!!! I have never ever seen that happen before let alone had it happen to me! I swore it went in almost 2 inches. Then he puts the first tube in to start filling up and no blood is coming out. So he starts to pull the needle out slowly. STILL NO BLOOD! So what does the jerk do. He jabs it around in my arm like a maniac! It was the first time ever I have had blood taken that I was in severe pain. FINALLY blood starts coming out. He looks up at me and says "Are you OK?" I must of had the I am going to kill you look on my face. I say I guess!! By the time all the stupid tubes are full there is blood drizzling down my arm from the needle area. He pulls the needle out. Puts a cotton ball on my arm and puts two pieces of tape on my arm. The tape was so tight I though it would cut the circulation off. When I left I was so pist. Then I woke up the next morning to a baseball size bruise on my arm. I can't wait to go in and get my results so I can fill in to the doctor what a A-HOLE his Phlebotomist is!!!!!!
