Good luck, Leggz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate it when they try to insert the needle in my hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only vein that really works well is inside my elbow on the left side. It doesn't hurt as much and it always works the first time!!!!!!!! After using my hands on a hit and miss basis for 20+ infusions they finally began to use the inside of my elbow. It was a different infusion nurse who tried it. When the others tried the inside of my elbow they always got too much blood backing up into the tubes I'm going to a different infusion center....the same drs but different nurses and lab assistants.
