Don't you just love it when a nurse bangs your arm to "pop up the vein"???

She was banging Alan's arm and in two seconds, she found the correct vein.

With me, well, when I had my caesarian section 26 years ago, I had 37 iv's. I know because I kept track.

My veins kept collapsing and one day someone said to another nurse "If her veins keep collapsing, we are going to have to put one in her neck"

I had toxemia at the time and I will never forget those magnesium sulfate injections. My god, I was black and blue for 6 months all along my hip area.

I hope they've developed a better method for toxemia in 26 years.
