Erin, so goo dto see you typing and checking in. Boy I must be an old timer because when I had my Plasma exchange they did it in my arm, for a week solid they just kept sticking my arm, but that was in New York, here in NC they said I would have to have the neck line and don't want to do it unless I am in full crisis. I could understand your fear for having a neck line put in. Hope all is going good.
