Ouch... what a corker, that looks seriously painfull Diz. I hope the bruising goes down soon, and if you need any more blood taken in the future, they try and do a much kinder job for you! x-x-x

OMG that look bad, how is it feeling now? My worst one was when the nurse told me to press i the wrong area, and the blood seeped into my arm, swelling it for 48 hours! Let's hope they can do all the tests on 7ml!

Thanks all, and thanks to Flip for fixing the site (oops)
Today, the bruise is solid dark purple, and hurts if I stretch my arm out = and when Ella grabbed it earlier! I'm wearing a maroon top today, it matches very well!
I'm definitely seeing the phlebotomist next time, she's much better at getting blood out of my rubbish veins.

Phlebtologists are great. Mw couldn't get enough at my booking in appt and it is agony with that needle stuck in your arm for 10 mins, after which I asked her to remove it cause I felt so faint.
Went to phlebtology who got my samples done and dusted in about a minute. Also went to phlebtology 4 weeks later as samples had went missing , and again they got the job done so quickly.
Hope your bruise clears up soon and that you are keeping well.
