worst blood test ever

Today I went in for my blood test and urine test. I've given a few blood samples over the past year, so I've been getting braver about it. I just look at the wall, they do their thing, and it's over. Not today. Today it hurt. And they kept taking more blood. And more blood. And it didn't stop. Just two more, she said. Just one more. I knew I was going down. I was either going to pass out or vomit or both. I put my head down, asked for the trash can. They brought an extra nurse in, who told me I was a funny shade of pale. I was sweating profusely. They gave me a juice box. I'm such a child. I eventually felt a little better. I think I scared the crap out of the poor girl taking my blood. Anyway, they took 6 vials of blood. No wonder I almost fainted, that's all the blood I had. What the hell do they need that much blood for anyway? Now I'm never going to want to give a blood sample again. I still feel gross.
