Arm Swollen After Blood Draw Novels & Stories

Crying definitely didn't help with my dehydration. "May I see your arm that your IV was in?" she asks nicely. I show her my swollen arm. It was covered in a nasty bruise from about the middle of my forearm all the wat up to my bicep. "OH MY GOD! How long did they leave your IV in after your vein blew? This looks horrible!" She asks.

But this time, I just glanced sideways and saw more than five full tubes of blood neatly placed on the table. I can't stay still and wait to die, letting her drain all the blood from my body. I used all my strength to sit up straight, struggling with my numb arms; my lips trying to open were so painful that they were torn. "Stop, you have drawn more than the allowed amount of blood!" Camelia still looked at me calmly and smiled. "So what?" I panicked inside; I was like a fish just caught out of the water and was now lying on the ground, struggling. My arm just raised, causing the blood draw to be interrupted, which made Camelia unhappy. Immediately, she grabbed my wrist and pressed it down h

Careful. I tried again. Fuck, it was too hard to hold without fear of bursting it. So I gently rolled the second blood bag onto my stomach, then rolled gracefully onto my back, careful to cradle the bag to a spot on top of my abdomen. I tried to move my paw to pop it with a nail, but it was so swollen that I couldn’t bend it. My entire arm was swollen, the joint cramping now as I tried to bend it. What the hell?

“I am. I just need to get some blood and then we can begin.” “Awesome. You may begin.” I said as I sat down in the chair and provided my arm. Quietly, she wrapped a blue massive rubber band around my arm. Successfully pinching my artery off. After pumping my hand a few times, she found the vein she wanted. For some reason, it didn’t bother me to watch her stick me into my veins and draw out the blood. In the past, it has but not today.

I pinched my chin between my thumb and index finger. “She has been drained of blood, and she needs it replenished quickly if she is to recover. I will get her a blood bag and be back. There are supplies in that drawer. Clean her arms and legs. I’m not sure which vein will work best.” I nodded, went to the drawer, and pulled it out: iodine and cotton balls.

“Is everything okay? I wasn’t expecting to hear from you.” “Yes, yes, everything’s fine—well, sort of,” he replied almost hesitantly. “What’s up?” There was a pause on the other end before he spoke again. “I know you’ve got an event coming up tonight, but unfortunately our last blood sample got tainted.” “Tainted?” “Yes, there was a minor accident in the lab. Tony and I are both okay, but your blood vials shattered, so we lost the samples. Would it be possible for you to come by quickly for another blood draw?”

I’m nоt tаkеn tо thе bаthrооm this time. Thеу say nоthіng; thеу dоn’t even lооk аt mе. Thеу рull me into a seated position аnd bеgіn ѕlарріng mу аrm. Thе site оf mу оwn іnjесtіоnѕ is swollen. I wince аѕ they approach, ready tо ѕtаb mе again.

“Okay, I will need to take a few swabs of your mouth and uhm.. then down there” she says nervously. I just nod move onto my back and lift my legs up so she can take a swab for my buttock. She takes a swab she needs and then moves to my mouth. She takes a swab and brushes it against my teeth, tongue, and the sides of my mouth. When she is done she gets a syringe to take some blood. I flinch for a moment, and she just moves slowly and sticks it into my arm to draw blood. I have to hold myself together so I don’t attack her my wolf is close to the surface. ‘She is just taking blood, she is not hurting me or injecting me’ I keep telling myself until she is finished.

Running through a series of protocols that seemed to take forever. "The extraction works like this," Wells explained as she worked. "The needle goes into your arm. The blood flows through this tube into a collection bag. We'll extract approximately 450 milliliters—that's roughly one pint. The process should take about thirty minutes. You'll feel lightheaded. You might feel dizzy. Some patients report a sensation of weakness or cold. All of this is normal." She positioned the extraction needle at the crook of Melina's right arm. The arm that had been left empty all morning. Reserved specifically for this.
