[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 5760171, member: 54707"] [FONT=Verdana]Went and gave blood today. Best experience ever. For the first time ever the nurse/phlebotomist actually tested my arms to see which would make the better candidate (and she asked my permission first). She tested both arms and then said my left arm was the best, then she took a long white tube and poked at my vein a coupla times and it stood out like a vein on the Hulk's forehead. Never seen it do that before.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana] [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]Then she sterilized the area and stuck me so smooth that I swear by heaven it didn't even feel like I had been pricked, just that she had laid the needle against my arm. Usually the nurse has to fiddle around with my right arm a few times and then slice my vein open after the insertion. And in ten minutes I was done. Usually it takes twice that long and it often aches afterwards. I was reading a new Jesse Stone novel during my lay-up and only got through one chapter. Today, in, out, so little pain I could hardly tell it, and no light-headedness or later exhaustion. No long-after-arm-ache.
