I literally don't even care just get it over with.

The only time I got an easy arm blood draw every time was when I was pregnant, because you have a higher blood volume.

And the truth is it doesn’t really hurt it just skeeved me out.

When I was in the hospital after open-heart they had to stick needles in me all the time. They went for my stomach for a while.

It really is easier when I’m just cool with it. I was ready to be poked so it was fine.

Months later at a routine check they put a line in me and I fainted. Wasn’t ready and got myself too amped up.
