It's only a little prick


Two blood tests today. One this morning a jeûne and the second about two hours after lunch. I feel like a bloody pin cushion. It's actually quite difficult to get blood out of me because the veins in my arms are very deep (er, or maybe because you are very fat - Ed) so Dr Dracula had a few goes this afternoon trying to avoid the gaping hole that he left this morning.

I have to say that I like the way that French health care has it's services spread out. For a blood test I simply turn up, no appointment necessary, at one clinic, for an x-ray I go to another, and appointments generally run smoothly.
