Last weekend and then this weeks bitch

Saturday morning we loaded up my bike and went down

to the river walk ..
Tom walked and I rode about 3 miles.

Only needed help a couple of times..

Uphill puts a lot of pressure on my knees and

sometimes ya just need a little shove to get going again..

We will do it again this weekend..

*****************

Went to he clinic today to have blood work done

and as usual--

the "nurse" had to hear the speech-

"you better be good-- you get one chance..

Get an infant needle and really pop that vein up

before you stick it .. I am very hard to find a

good vein in to begin with and I don't need any

drama over this .. etc etc etc .."

*

SOOOOOOO
she fumbles around --finally decides that the vein in

the top of my left hand (That I told her to use from the start)

looked like the best one -- DUH ?!?!?!

****
So she sticks me - but she is not getting any blood...

now the has her thumb on the needle and
it is hurting so I told her that we

were thru - remove the damn thing NOW !!!!

*****

I think I would have had less pain if she had

used a harpoon.

She is useless when it comes to drawing blood..

This is my second and final run in with her..

I stopped at the desk and told them that this was

it until they got a real phlebotomist in the office.
