In Vein….
April 28th, 2007
Traits and family characteristics are passed down from generation to generation and although I was blessed with some, I also recieved one that could be considered, undesirable…….bad veins. Not only are they small but they seem to have a mind all its own. As soon as a needle comes near they vanish or they wait until the needle is in my body then the veins will collapse. The nurses say I have “difficult” arms, I prefer zero needle tolerence. I’ve been punctured so many times that my body has declared a revolt against foreign needles, even the accupuncture ones. The poor nurses feel terrible about missing the veins, its not their fault, its always been this way. So they decided to try and get a vein from my foot so I can get my magic juice……..ummm yeah not such a good idea. My whole leg lost its mind trying to dislodge the needle and the tiny nurse holding it. I think I scared her half to dealth. I said sorry and she said ‘try arm again’. Good news, I hear that when it becomes to difficult to find a vein they switch to a shot in the butt…….I’ll take it. But on the whole its more amusing than anything else.
Hope all is well
I’ll write again soon

Hi Leslie,
Happy to hear that you’re in good spirits. I can also understand the small vein troubles- any time I’ve needed an iv or needle they put it in the top of my hand, which hurts and is just kinda weird.
Hope you’re having a good day (I guess it’s night there now), it’s bright and sunny here so I’m going outside to read. That is, after I satisfy my sudden craving for cheese- which I blame you for!

This is why I admire you so much.!!!! You can always see the humour in everything! No matter what the circumstances, you continue to see the ‘ upside ‘ and refuse to be pulled down.
On a lighter note, when you come home can I have a crack at administering that ” magic Juice ” via your butt?? LOL
Luv Julie

Hey Buddy, finally got around to your blog, you should write books, you language is awsome and sentencing leaves you wondering what is coming next.
This really is an amazing story of what you had said “hope”. Keep up the passion for what you are doing. Tammy, Jake and I are thinking of you everyday.
We love you Les
