Laoniang needs some love

Laoniang kena poked once on 23 Jul for a CT scan. This is a 5-yearly scan and the SGH staff nurse who inserted the plug for me did a good job so I am thankful.

Laoning kena poked twice on 30 Jul at CGH for another medical test. One for a plug and another time to draw blood for testing. The staff nurse...couldn't save my vein to insert a plug in after drawing blood for testing. I had to poked elsewhere for the plug to be inserted. I don't know what she did but....she caused me a big bruise at the initial site. She told me it'll be gone in a week.

Nabeh. One week liao. Bruise still there. One big orh-cheh and blood beneath the skin. Sometimes still sore to the touch. Laoniang not happy. I asked a doctor (whose field is totally unrelated to the blood test) how long the bruise would take to go away....he said 2-3 weeks at least.

Laoniang needs some tender loving care....the girls have been giving me kisses to the bruise area each day...
