As most of you know, I spend quite a bit of time in and out of hospitals. The problem that keeps arising is that I have such small and "roving" veins that it is extremely hard to get an IV drip going with me. I usually return home with mass bruises on my arms. Huge one that look like large fingerprints. Some that are on my stomach as well. Nasty. I returned to school this past week and the first questions I got asked was "Are you OK? Are you being abused?" I assure the other students and teachers that this is not the case, in fact quite honestly, the opposite. I live in Phoenix, I am not comfortable wearing long sleeves in 89 degrees weather. This last hospital visit, left my neck with what looked like fingerprints around it. Any suggestions as to what to do to avoid the questions that most are obviously going to ask? I have bit my tongue a couple times..because I don't want to hurt their feelings. Any one who knows me, knows that I am just not the kind who generally cares what other's think about me or what I do, but these are people I go to school with and it happens everytime I come home. I know that most of y'all would not have this problem, as We are not generally the ones being bruised <s> But maybe suggestions from subs/switches would be helpful :) Thank you for the well wishes by the way. The prayers helped :) MoGa
