the day i went for a health check

The office gives out free yearly health screening but it's the first time i went for mine. In fact, this is the first time i have a blood test. i'm terribly afraid of needles. Injections are ok but extractions are a total different story altogether. i always have the impression that extracting blood from the inside of the elbow is excruciating painful cos the skin there is so thin. So i was pleasantly surprised that today's test was not painful at all. It's just a slight prick. Well, slight pain but definitely none on the scale that i had imagined. i could do this everyday! Ok, i exaggerate. i don't think i would like to do this everyday cos the day i went for the health check is also the day i got a bruise. Around where the needle pricked. :(
