"Getting blood taken"

Had an appointment to get bloods taken, which I was DREADING, I have the worst veins ever and the nurses at gp surgery always struggle, if I'm lucky they manage maybe their 5th attempt, while I'm having to lie down as feel like I'm going to faint by this point!

So arrived at the hospital nervous, only sat for a couple of minutes in a lovely cosy waiting room before I was called and taken through. The nurse Carolyn. who was very friendly asked me a few questions, I explained to her my fear, and that I usually get the kiddies needle, she listened to me and found the appropriate needle and within a minute and first attempt  Carolyn took my blood, no problem at all...AMAZING!! I was in and out in less than 10 minutes.😀
