Novel & Cerita Arm Swollen After Blood Draw

Thankfully, my face didn’t bruise because of last night’s tiff with Nathan. When the doctor walks in, I tense up as he takes my vitals. The cuff constricts perfectly on a sore spot, and it’s uncomfortable. “This swelling is pretty bad,” he says, looking over my arm. “How did it happen?” “I fell and landed wrong,” another injury I have to explain away due to my fake clumsiness. The doctor gently tries to rotate my hand, but a sudden stabbing pain shoots to my elbow. A whimper escapes me. I yank my hand from the doctor’s grasp. He then goes to the medical cabinet while shaking his head.

By the time it was half full, my mouth tasted like tin, and cold sweat covered my forehead. Bennett pulled the rubber band off my bicep with a snap. Blood rushed back into my numb fingers, throbbing hot and painfully. He pulled out the needle and pressed a wad of white cotton firmly against the puncture. A sharp, throbbing ache spread down my arm to my fingertips. Bennett placed a strip of rough brown medical tape over the cotton, holding it tightly against my skin. He picked up the three glass vials and slid them into the foam slots inside his black leather case.

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.

I gave him a smile but was replaced by a frown as I clutched my arm. "It's getting worst, let's go to the examination room", Mr Ambrose said as we all followed him. Avan kept his hand around me rubbing my other arm assuring me that everything will be fine. I knew the protocol so I sat on the chair and tried to take off my jacket. My mom helped me and then rolled up my sleeves. I didn't even know that I was already bleeding. It wasn't much but it was still frightening to see.

Felix replied. “Alright, I’ll take care of Xena then. You go ahead,” Hayden said. Felix nodded, and the car drove off. “Ouch,” Xena suddenly let out a soft cry of pain. “What’s wrong?” Hayden asked. “It’s nothing. The blood draw left some swelling,” she said as she rolled up her sleeve. The inside of her left elbow was badly bruised, dark purple and blue. “Why did they draw so much blood?” Hayden asked, immediately concerned.

It was swelling and red. "Does it hurt? " "No, but my throat feels dry sometimes, and I need to drink water." "Come sit. Let me heal your arm. Lauren brought a chair in front of me, and Arlene sat there. "Freya, can you hold her arms, please? Freya moved her chair beside Arlene and placed her hands on her lap. I place my palm over her swelling arm. I wanted to open the swelling part to see what was inside. A white orb came out of my palm, and Arlene cried in panic when it cut her flesh.

"I know you're afraid, dear. Just take a deep breath and we'll get this over with." I obeyed, and after a moment I felt the coolness of an alcohol swab and then the prick of the needle. When she finished drawing my blood she wiped the spot with another alcohol swab and stuck a bright pink band aid on it. She then handed me a tissue and patted my shoulder. "Take a moment to compose yourself, and then you're free to go. Remember, it'll be a few days before we have the results." I nodded, drawing in a trembling breath.

he said sheepishly. “Thanks, I appreciate the directions and for you not treating me like a lesser wolf,” I mumbled softly, and noticed that he also had a cotton ball-covered bandage on his arm. “You needed to do another blood draw, too?” Glancing at his arm, he huffed out in annoyance, “Yeah, the Academy has never redone blood draws.” “Interesting. Well, thanks again, Aiden. I will see you around,” I smiled, waved goodbye to him then turned toward the direction he had given me.

The scene I was witnessing caused a lump to form in my throat, the trail of blood she had left behind, her milky white skin was now a pasty shade of grey with a blue tinge to her lips and she was unconscious yet again. So many questions streamed through my mind but I had to get her out, I pulled the needle out of her hand, a burning sensation travelled through my fingers “SHIT!” throwing the needle down “It’s fucking silver” As soon as the needle was removed, the wound on her arm slowly began knitting back together leaving a deep red line. Although the amount of blood she had lost was worrying.

Not for a weak thing like me, in a pack like Snow Pointe. "Take a deep breath for me, Aurelia," the pack doctor instructed, her fingers pressed against the vein in my arm as she pricked me with a needle. A bead of dark, purple blood dripped from my arm, and she quickly wiped it away. I didn't flinch. Years of needles in arms, blood draws, IV fluid bags, have left my arms dark with bruises and old scars. Ever since I was a child, I'd dealt with the pain of these special treatments from Dr. Andromeda.
