LOl! You know you can always whine to us!

But, heat is what you need, once the bleeding has stopped. Heat will help the muscles reabsorb the blood and heal the vein. I've had that done to me tons of times, and it sucks!!

I had this once when they draw my blood. It is scary, I understand you. I had pain 10 days. Eventually vein will heal.

my worst nightmare.

I hate (always have) having my blood drawn...it never gets any easier...after all this time.

I'm lucky and haven't had anything horrible happen.

Sorry, blue! casualty of war.
