John, in pre-op yesterday as they were inserting my IV the nurses again found out about my Tolly veins. I had 2 starts in my R and L arms. A different person came in and tried 1 and finally John came in for the 4th try and did a wonderful job. Just the right spot and placement so moving my hand and armCause no pain.

@gobigorgohome You're already posting! Good to hear from you. I also have vein issues. They are very small and I tell them right up front now to get the pediatric butterfly and someone who is experienced with small adult veins. Wishing you the best, your bilateral friend, Kathy
