Default Someone slap me!



Fine...I am on my way to get 'B' work done.

Ok...I will say it. Blood work. Blood draw. There, I said it.

FG, I feel faint.

Someone slap me!

Leave to AMN to be the 1st to slap someone. LOL

Taffy, you will do fine. Take deep breaths but don't hyperventilate. DD18 gets faint and/or faints every time so I understand where you are coming from. Focus on something in the room, something appealing to you, and let your mind drift. Also keep in mind that this is only a few minutes of your entire life. You will do just fine.

Did you drink plenty of water over the past few days? That makes it so much easier for the phlebotomists.

Hey Taffy,

Do what I do. Just look the other way and think about something pleasant... Or, think of something hilarious. Or, start singing quietly to yourself... It'll be over before you know it.

You'll be fine. You could just bang into the wall, get a nose bleed and have them hold the tubes under your nose.

Now how did I know that Nappy chick would be the first to reply to this request? Interestingly enough she only asks to be first in line but doesn't actually offer the first whap.

Oh Twappy... :slap: You will be just fine.

Carp! Now I know I have seen that smilie in other posts. So how do I post it? Probably some complex multi step process this mere mortal will never understand.

yes, you will be fine.
they kind of have a lab chair that you sit in.
and they put a little kind of shelf in front of your to support your arm while they do the dastardly deed.

also that way is you faint it will hold you up

please tell us how you did.
i would come and do it myself but it would take too long.
i'm pretty good a drawing blood. i could hit a vein on a 2lb baby

Doggone it, and I have to work today. If I had had some notice I would have been there!

My big opportunity and I missed it!

*smack*

I am sure our little Twiffy will do just fine.
