Time for the quarterly blood draw to see if my kidneys and liver are filtering and purging as they should be or if they've started to creak to a halt due to the corrosive influences of the lightest of all metals, the pale, silvery atomic weight number three. It will neither cure you nor kill you, unless the latter is was intentional.
Janie is a short, 50-something phlebotomist who works at the lab. She's a precision-perfect artist of vein location and manipulation. And she doesn't work weekends anymore. This is unfortunate since my veins are elusive yet tough, and as a result, they require the skills of an exceptional blood taker.Sandi was sweet and breezy, with an easy laugh. When she stuck my arm with the needle, it didn't hurt at all. Unfortunately, she had to jiggle it a bit to get the blood going. The end result is not pretty. Based on the way I de-bruise, I'll be explaining this one away for weeks.
