By the 4th lot of blood-taking the vein in my left arm declared itself useless, so a fresh canula was put in my right, which conked out during the 6th session. A needle was used for the 7th.
I got the shakes and went all weepy so my temperature was taken and my throat inspected but it turned out that I simply freezing cold so they got me a radiator.
The day brightened up with a visit from Santa - one of the nurses cleverly disguised in a Santa hat!
If this is how it is for human volunteers I hate even more how it must be for animals who don't know why.
It seems that the canulas do get blocked so it wasn't all my fault, although I was beginning to feel like a pin-cushion!
