Stuffage

[annuin]

The more I look at the inside of my elbow, the more I'm sure I had Nurse Ratchett yesterday. The bruising isn't where the needle went in, the bruising is where she dug her fingers into my arm to hold onto while she stuck the needle in (and she didn't need to do so, because I don't squirm or move). Plus I actually have superficial skin bruising from when she pumped up the bloodpressure thing so tight that I almost started to lose sensation in my fingers... and I don't bruise that easily. Violet at karate, who is a nurse, was kind of aghast at the fact that I had bruising from the bloodpressure measuring.

No swelling from the TB stuff, not even a residual bump from the fluid. I doubt that that will start playing up all of a sudden within the next 12 hours. If I was going to have a reaction I think I would have noticed something by now.

Tomorrow I might trek down to New Rochelle and get the fingerprinting out of the way.

This evening I ran out of harddisk space, which was surprising as there was (should have been) about 7gb free. Turns out Windows was caching EVERYTHING from my home directory on the fileserver for offline use. I have to say it was quite disconcerting to check properties on C: several times in a row and to see the disk space diminishing rapidly, down to 0. Thankfully it's easily fixed, but I can't believe the stupid thing was set to do that in the first place *mutter*.

I've had my blood pressure taken a couple of times, but never quite like this. I mean, usually it's quite a bit of pressure, but this just hurt. And to make matters worse, this woman was in like her 50s at least, so it's not like she was a green nurse or anything.
