I'm basically over it

[cjsmith]

I got blood drawn yesterday morning - SEVEN TUBES thank you very much - and I did not feel one iota of wooziness.

Granted, I didn't watch, but it's not as if I didn't feel every bit of it. I wasn't coasting through by being blissfully unaware. I think I'm finally cured of my phlebotomy squeamishness!

(I blame my diabetic cat and a year of Saturdays working at a vet clinic. And the B12 self-injections, I guess.)

For me, I'm not sure it makes much difference how much blood they're taking; I care more about how long the process lasts. All of mine this time were vacuum, which is awesome - it's fast! (Though there is the weird sensation when they pull off a tube or put on the next one.)
