I hate needles.

So something not right and I need a blood test. I hate getting bloodwork done. Mostly because I hate all needles. Ok not all needles. I'm rather fond of knitting needles, and the Space Needle is pretty damn cool. I"ll rephrase. I hate all medical needles (and the odd sewing needle) that is insert in to any part of my being and causes pain. That include blood work and vaccines.

Don't get me wrong. I can suck it up and take it like a woman, but still. Waaah. Big blood sucking needle this week. I am not happy.

At least the lab I go to uses the little baby needles on me. That's a plus. The name is decptive though. They call them butterflies cause the little plastic thing on the top looks a bit like wings. Or so they say. No, I think it's all a plot to lure you in to a false sense of security. They say 'I
ll use the butterfly for you' and you think oh, butterfly, pretty, happy safe. They then cut off circulation to your arm with their rubber band of tiny hair pulling pain and stab you with a hypodermic device refered to as a bug. It's a plot I tell you! A plot most foul.

I think they should call them bats. Or mosquitos. Something blood sucking with wings. Stop tarnishing the reputation of the butterfly!
