I finally told her to stick the damn thing in my neck if she had to. They ended up having to go for a vein in my hand. Its a real bummer because I have O neg blood and they always tell me I should donate because I am a universal donor. If blood draws weren't so hard, I would happily do it.

Wow, so we're kindred spirits in the blood draw department! I hope you can try a Butterfly the next time you have to have blood taken. I also have O- blood and I'm CMV negative (cytomegalo virus...not sure on the spelling) so I can donate to preemie babies. I too would happily become a blood donor again if there was an easier way to get blood out of me!
