I guzzled the appropriate amount of water on Sunday and Monday, as my vein gushed a tad yesterday lol. First time 'round last year, the machine kept beeping because my pressure was low, because I didn’t eat or drink enough.

This time, I filled that bag up quicksmart! Had a Nippy’s Iced Coffee and some potato chips after. But yeah, now my elbow-pit is rather sore, I keep catastrophising and think it’s still bleeding and I don’t want to look, as it was when I changed the dressing yesterday (3 hours afterwards).

But! No complaints! Follow the directions and drink heaps of water!

Edit: actually, the only complaint is the bruise on my left middle finger from the haemoglobin test. I forget how much the tips of the fingers are used until one is sore 😅
