April 27th I went in for blood work. She actually only had to stick me once (I went out of the RE's clinic once with enough holes that they (teasingly) feared I was going to scare the people in the waiting room), and then wiggle the needle around a bit to get the vein. But I bruised, badly, even being careful not to bend my elbow. I still have a bruise. It's nowhere near as bad, it's mostly yellow with a bit of purple in the middle still. But there's something seriously strange about that. More than two weeks for a bruise is just.. so weird.. to me.
