Had annual blood testing happen on Friday. Friday the 7th of November being the only day in October when Bastard could give me a lift AND I didn't have dancing or something else on that night which would make taking of blood, with associated needles (and mild phobia thereof), owies (pinprick HA! Sting a little BOLLOCKS!), and adrenaline reactions to the whole shebang a Bad Idea. I have a decided preference for getting a lift home in that state, and dancing when there is a significantly larger-than-usual chance that I may wibble out is very very bad.
I have a bruise a touch over 4cm long and 1cm wide on that arm. It started as a lump a couple of centimetres away from the hole, which swelled over 12 hours or so, then spread out to the long, flat, painful bruise it is now. The phlebotomist used a vein I don't normally get poked in, which was good, as there aren't any pinhole scars there, and it was slightly less painful than usual, but it still burned the whole time.
Results should be back soon.
