telerib1) Sloppy work
2) Pain
3) Sloppy work resulting in pain
Well, why shouldn't I go to give blood right before my vacation? I mean, I've been giving regularly for five years now with only one awful stick (and that was, I think, mostly me: wedding stress + dissertation stress + PMS = zero pain tolerance) and one uncomfortable one. Mostly, I'm in, I'm stuck, I'm out. Heck, they've even convinced me to be a platlet donor, and that's a stick in both arms. No problem.
My arm still hurts. Not in an "Oh my God the PAIN" sort of way; really, just an ache. No biggie. But see #3, above. It should not hurt at all. Weirdest and worst, when I took the bandage off last night, the thing reopened. That's never happened before.
I've been told that I have good veins. Maybe that's just the sort of thing phlebotomists tell people as an off-handed insincere compliment, but better than 9 times out of 10, they seem to have no problem getting the damn needle where it's supposed to go. *grumblegrowlspit* Lady with the Dark Curly Hair and Glasses: You do not touch me again. Got it?
