Get Better Soon Thunt!

Post by BeanDip » Fri Aug 02, 2013 4:16 pm

I don't think there's a topic for this yet but I saw Thunt's twitter feed and wanted to say: Thunt, if you're reading this know that we're thinking about you and wishing for the best. Get better soon! :)

Oh, and when they take your blood, ask for the butterfly needle. It's a much smaller needle than the one they normally use and most nurses don't mind if you ask nicely. ;) At least that's how it is at my oncologist's office, not sure if it's the same in Canada.

I'm hoping it's something simple. I have a close relative whose liver enzymes have been off for the last few years. They're not sure why, and they're keeping an eye on it, but so far she's perfectly fine. Meantime, she's just being cautious - staying away from alcohol, etc.

As for butterflies... I personally hate them. I can feel them fluttering. But I'm weird that way.

Hmm.. ehm.. hehe... Butterfly needle is just because of the way it is set to the skin (the wings) They exists in all sort of sizes... but yes... the general one is smaller than those used for blood tests...

I hope it's nothing and your doctor is just being overcautious. :)

THunt, get well soon!

..and if they DO end up taking blood, you should totally react like Buddy the Elf:

Hey! Why are you reading this? It's bad for your eyes, and there's nothing to see here; no words of wit or sage like advice.... Nope, none of that crap... Still here? Well, I guess you can stay for a little while, but no touching. Ok, MAYBE a little bit of touching, but don't expect a kiss... Oh, and don't expect me to cuddle afterwards, either. This is purely physical in nature, and you can't REALLY want something serious after everything we've been through? Fine... 20 seconds of heavy petting, and that's IT! Annnnnnnd done...

The bugs or the needles?

Generally, I don't like bugs or needles. But butterfly bugs are pretty, so I don't squish them or let my cats eat them.

I also would like to add my hopes that it is nothing too serious and that you get well soon Thunt.

I'd also like to add my name to the list of people who do NOT like needles and would therefore vote in favour of the smaller butterfly needle if it is appropriate :)
All hail the power of the stick!

I meant the needle. I like the insect. I'll spare you the details.

The more common problem is that since the needle is smaller it takes longer to fill the tubes.
