I got a new job. For this new job I got a TB test placed on Monday on my left arm. I also had blood drawn to see if I've really never had the chicken pox. (If I haven't I'll have to get a vaccination. Bleh.) Tuesday I gave platelets. The phlebotomist infiltrated my left arm which was where the TB test was placed. So we used my right arm, where the blood was drawn for the chicken pox test.
An infiltrated vein means the needle went through my vein and I got a nice briuse. It only hurts when the blood returns, minus the platelets of course. In all my times donating blood (just over ten years) It's happened just twice to me. Donating blood is still a good thing and I'll be doing it again in a couple of weeks.
My arms look like I'm seriously using. I'll take a pic tonight.
