I look like a druggie

[primsong]

Got through another chemo round, but my uncooperative veins were their usual troublesome selves - after two failed attempts at an IV, the nurses went looking for a big teddy-bear of a man they referred to as their "vein whisperer" - lol... He managed to get one going but after about half an hour they decided it wasn't dripping well enough and I had to get a fourth one done.  My arm looks like I'm someone who has an unhealthy affiliation with poking themselves, especially as I still have a 'burn' from the last one healing there.  :-p  Oh well!  Weather is turning to long sleeves anyway, right?

On the good side, one more done!  Yay!  This is a pleasant comtemplation.  Also, I used all the time I had to sit there to finally learn how soduko works and ended up filling in several of the little things.  I'm always several steps behind the fads it seems.

Here's hoping your veins are more cooperative next time.

One can certainly hope! They said "hydrate!" and I told them I was hydrating so much I was sure I would float away as it was. Oh well, this too shall pass. :-)

Working from the lab side of things, hydration is the only trick I know to help, so... yeah. +hugs+
