Oh, Suze! I'm so sorry!
I hope the staff was very apologetic to you over the problem. I'm very glad the nurse was sweet to you.
Fouling up is not something the medical profession in America likes to do at all!
I will pray that this REALLY IS the end. I'm glad Nick was with you. God bless him!
PS: next time you have to undergo a blood test, feel free to ask for "butterfly needles." They seem much smaller and easier to insert. They have been lifesavers for some members of my family who have a really hard time with needles.
Sorry for the day-late-and-a-dollar-short advice!
As Americans typically say, I'm a real "Monday morning quarterback!"
