My watchword these days is VALIDATION, and we all need it for what we're feeling.

I think.<br /><br />My kids are supposed to get regular blood draws because of the psych meds they take.<br /><br />I get it.<br /><br />As a matter of fact, I'm pretty ticked off when they put my kids with anyone that 'fishes'. I don't care how hard it is to find a vein, these are pediatric patients AND there are developmental disab. involved. So the fact that my kids aren't the ones reigning down expletives at the nurse/phlebot. makes me all the more impressed with my kids.<br /><br />I've (in my mind) gotten to the point of suggesting they find another line of work (rather than drawing blood) if they regularly have to leave a bruise or go back and forth with butterfly or standard needles, elastic bands or blood pressure cuffs.<br /><br />I'm glad you said something. Makes up for all the times I didn't. :)marneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05844751885812649186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1139730404069524130.post-19781034897977899292010-05-12T17:01:53.967-07:002010-05-12T17:01:53.967-07:00My sympathy...that would be me at the dentist'...My sympathy...that would be me at the dentist's.
