This Won't Hurt a Bit

Oh yeah, the Vagus nerve.  Thats plausible.

I have donated several times without incident, though admittedly I've taken more jabs from Carter Bloodcare than Red Cross.  I've also had a couple of incidents where I felt woozy, and one time where I wanted them to take from my left arm, but they fucked up the stick and so I had a bruise in my left elbow and ended up having to donate from the right arm anyway.  But for the most part, as long as I can pass the iron test, I'm in and out relatively quickly, and the worst part is the god-damn-fuckin' tourniquet.  Fuckin' HATE that thing.

And I expect the blood-donation needles need to be huge or else your body will clot the venipuncture site before they get the full pint.  Three times now I've sold small quantities (50-100mL) of my blood for one of the departments on campus to use in research, and the first time was completely painless - I expect that's because they could get away with a smaller needle since they didn't need very much.

(I also suspect the smaller needle is why my arm didn't bruise this last time I went in to sell.  The girl missed the stick, and I started getting seriously squicked by what she was doing in an attempt to get the needle into a vein now that it was already in my arm.  Guh, I'm getting the bad wibbles even describing it that generically.)

The sticking my arm doesn't bother me.  Yeah they need a big needle to get the blood out fast enough.  At the doctors they had to stick me twice one time because my blood began to clot.  The only problem I have now is I have had so much blood drawn that I have scar tissue building up over my veins so I usually bruise now, especially if I am dehydrated, like those stupid fasting first thing in the morning things, I hate those.

How did getting a needle in the arm cause you to have a seizure?  Isn't that kind of your fault, not theirs?

I don't know that you can consider a seizure anyone's fault.

[Cain]

You decided to have a seizure, live with the consequences damnit!

[hooplala]

I think I'll have a seizure right now.

Actually, I have a few things I need to do first, so I will reschedule my seizure for about 1:30 this afternoon.

Well, everyone was really surprised when my nephew had to get his cast off and passed out.  He is about Turd's size only a little taller and slightly wider at the shoulder's, so it's not like anyone exactly wanted to try to catch him or anything.  That was the first clue they had that he has some abnormal vagal response.  The way I hear it, he turns kinda green, his eyes roll back, then out he goes.

[hooplala]

What's that called again?

Vasovagal Syncope or something?  Doesn't Bush have that?

By fault I meant that it was his body's response to getting stuck, not them sticking him, that caused the seizure.

I don't think I could ever bring myself to give blood.  Terror doesn't even begin to describe my feelings about needles.

[hooplala]

I had a numbnuts nurse take blood from me when I was ten, she poked in and didn't hit a vein, poked again and didn't hit a vein really jammed it in and blood spurted all over the room.  No lie.

I used to watch when they took blood, now I get very woozy at the site of it, so I won't be giving blood any time soon either.

I admit, I'm mildly curious as to how you'd know how wide I am across the shoulders.

was that YOU who installed the camera in my smoke detector?

No.  Was Enr!co.

He wanted to know how Turd got the sausage so spicey in the Salazore Sausage Special, so he sneaked into ventilation system and set up camera.  Is nice view.

Oh.  And Enr!co prefers the mesh panties to the Y-fronts.  Sprouting Hair was Enr!co's nickname in grammer school.

[East Coast Hustle]

ha!

if Enrico was actually watching, he would know that I shave my balls, so it doesn't matter which style of panties I wear.

[Enrico Salazar]

Enr!co was not talking about your balls.  He was talking about your ass.

Actually, last I knew he was wearing a 3X and I thought you ware a 2X, but I might be mistaken.  Anyway, he is down to about 320, I think.  The kid takes up a whole doorway.
