I’ve been going for infusions for a almost a year and a half now and every time i go, it’s a fight with my veins.  In my wildest dreams, i never thought that would be an issue because every time i went to give blood prior to my starting the infusions, i never had any problems.

• i’m a nightmare to the nurses,
• My veins are small
• My veins tend to roll; they don’t ever want to come up to the surface of my skin to make anything easy
• Its always a bet – how many times will i get stuck this time around?

In light of all that, these days when i see someone with nice bulging veins i look at them with pure envy!  i saw a fella in the barber shop on Saturday and I swear his veins were a big as a drinking straw!!  I always think, “now y couldn’t that be me”???  I know that i don’t know everyone’s situation…but i always think, “what a waste of a nice vein…bet u don’t have to go for an infusion every 4 weeks!”

Apart from the obvious, guess which hand is mine!

I think i have good ones in my feet, but alas they won’t use the foot.  so i just have to look and lust after the big veins when i see them.   Who woulda thunk that there would come a time when i would look at people and the 1st thing i notice about them is the size of their VEINS!!!
