i wish we could do this here!

Yeah i had the same experience! Multiple tries, multiple wiggling manoeuvres! I really wish there was something that would make access easier for everyone involved, i have a portacath now but the two times that they could of used it, the hospital didn't have the right access cannulars and the phlebotomist wasn't qualified to use it so more anxiety and more tears. Im hoping that tomorrow they will just gas me under so I won't have to endure more poking.
