Diana's Bruise

At Diana's Friday doctor appointment she had to get her blood drawn. She asked that they take it from her hands because she bruises easily and her arm veins are hard to draw from. The lady asked if she could try her arms and Diana said sure, but you aren't likely to get anything. The lady tried anyways and pushed through the vein or missed completely. The nurse then needed to move the needle around in Diana's arm to find the right spot. Diana winced as the nurse asks if everything is OK. The bruise has been getting worse and worse over the past few days, here is what it looks like today. Hope it gets better soon.

Bruise update

We are now at one week since Diana's doctors appointment where she had blood drawn. This is what her bruise looks like today:


If this doesn't go away soon I see a malpractice suit coming!

Diana's Bruise

Diana went to the doctor on Monday. She is OK. The doctor is putting her on a higher dose of the blood pressure medicine (he wants her to be under 130/80 - she is marginally higher). She did have to get her blood drawn, which they do once a year. Her bruise has gotten worse each day.

It is usually very hard to get blood from Diana, and the vampire usually takes it from the top of her hand. This time they found a good vein on the side of her arm and they got it in one try. If this keeps up by the end of the week her arm will be completely blue.

Diana is telling her freinds that I caused the bruise...it is her revenge for my passive agressive NBA Final post the other day.
