We left here this morning at 7.00 am to go to Alicante Hospital for me to have a specialised blood test.  I started to take my cardigan off so she could get the blood out of my arm.  In her Spanish she told me not to take it off and proceeded to disinfect one of my fingers - then OUCH a prick.  She then started to try and squeeze the blood out and let it drip onto the special document in the appropriate square box, but it wasn't that easy.  Oh no - in the end she had to prick 3 of my fingers OUCH OUCH OUCH and the original one again - squeeze squeeze squeeze and eventually she managed to get enough blood to fill 4 of the boxes on this document!! I would much prefer the usual way of getting the blood out of me.  Anyway I didn't have to wait any length of time - was called straight in and we were home by 9.30 am.  We think that was brilliant don't you - all the way to Alicante, getting the job done and getting home in two and a half hours?
