Needles

When I was about 5 I remember an AWFUL experience with shots... Something about a nurse chasing me around a room rings a bell. Since then it's never been good. I can remember always having a hard time when a nurse needed to get blood. In the ER one time a spot on my wrist had to be numbed ad used because all other places had been tried. I looked away and hummed odd nothingness while blood was taken it was so bad... Nurses always thought it was a song, I said no.

And now... Every 6 weeks (or less) I'm in and out. Use the left arm in the center, and I don't hum.  Sad or an improvement? Not sure.
