Lollo went away and came back with a little plastic thing. She said it would give them access to my bloodstream 🚗. The tube they were going to put in my vein was actually really, really soft and thin. “It’ll be fine!” said Lollo. Then she told me she was about to apply an anaesthetic plaster that would have to be left to work for an hour ⌚. And she told me I’d hardly notice when she inserted the tube in my arm.
