I feel like a pin cushion!
I went to give blood today as I do regularly, but for some reason this
time they had a hard time finding a vein. She stabbed me with the
needle and realized she hadn't hit a vein. So she pulled out and said
she'd have to try the other arm, they aren't allowed to poke you twice
in the same arm. No problem. So they switched to the left arm, and
wouldn't you know it they had a hard time finding one in that arm as
well! She finally got it in, but stopped anyway saying it was bruising
and she couldn't continue. She sent me home with bruise cream, poked in
both arms and an appointment to try again in a week. How weird, that's
never happened before! They have occasionally had trouble finding a vein
but they eventually DO find one. I've never been sent home without
donating. :(
Today's walk was about 35 minutes, and here's what I ate today:
Today's Menu:
Special K Forest Berries (60g) topped with
1 medium sliced banana, 30-40 blueberries
and 1 cup lite soy milk
Leftover Jambalaya
Leftover Chickpea & Swede stew
Special K with Chocolatey Flakes (60g) topped with 1c Choc Soy Milk
Totals: 1559 calories (66/21/13)
Hope you're all doing well -- see you again tomorrow. :)
