Oh, I'm so sorry you have that difficulty with the vein-finding. Hope the testing all turns out quite silently.
I've got easy, cooperative veins. So easy, in fact, that when I show up for a blood test, I've learned to ask the reception staff, "So, have you got a jittery trainee who could use a success about now? Because I've got the EASY sort of veins." Of course, I don't tell the fledgling phlebotomist any such thing -- that wold spoil his or her sense of triumph!
