If donating plasma taught me anything… it taught me that my left basilic vein is completely viable.

Collapsed… not so much. Hiding all these years… scared of any number of sharp objects that may or may have not ventured toward  it.

It’s the right one that’s fucked probably. Always engorged and expanding; distending the surface… it’s like me.

But even so, the right basilic, though scarred is viable as well.

A bit of tough scar tissue that runs along the pipe that still finds blood traveling through it.

How am I ever supposed to learn?
