[Brigit's Flame] Breathe in, breathe out

[ladypoetess]

This week's brigits_flame topic is patience.

Breathe.

Just so you know, I'm a hard stick because of a variety of medical problems.

"Oh, don't worry - I get hard sticks all the time. We'll be fine."

Well, just know my veins are small, weak, and do not stay still.

"Mm-hmm."

Breathe.

"Okay, big pinch."

"Oh, am I hurting you? I'm so sorry!"

"I just don't get it - I am normally really good at this!"

This is normal for me, don't worry about it.

Breathe.

"I keep asking the Lord God to guide my hand, but he's not listening."

I'm a very hard stick, as I said. My record was 15 sticks before a doctor with a doppler machine finally got a vein that didn't blow out.

"But this isn't normal for me!"

Breathe.

"I'm going to get someone else to try. I don't want to keep hurting you."

That's fine.

Breathe.
