Feeling My Age


As I get older my veins fight the phlebotomist more and more.
Some days I have good veins and some days they're bad.
Yesterday was a bad day, they just didn't want to let the needles in.
It took 3 attempts to get a good "stick" to get the IV flowing into me. Thankfully, once they get the IV flowing, the drugs follow shortly thereafter so it's not so bad, but the next week I have the evidence of the attempts.
I don't heal as well as I used to either.
