julielle 199 Posted November 8, 2012 I'm here at the INT hospital waiting for surgery with Dr Ponce in a few hours. . Excuse the bad ipad typing. Sitting here in my gown and compression socks. Now the crisis of the moment is my veins. Had to try both hands before they got the iv in, not fun. Then bloodtest guy comes, leaves empty handed 20 mins later and i'm probably covered in bruises from all the failed attempts, he even tried in the little wrist veins ewwwwww. Anyways, other than that still fine, surgery is in 2-3 hours i think. I'll try to keep you updated! 3 Learningtotwinkle, Virgo_Chk and abetterme4.2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

julielle 199 Posted November 8, 2012 Well they came back again for the blood, took 3 nurses to finally get it. They turned off the ac, put hot compresses on my veins, and still then it took a good 30 mins... I'll be bruised all over that arm, it's covered in puncture wounds... Blech! 1 Learningtotwinkle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
