It actually was fine. If the lady noticed she didn't say anything. Afterwards, she asked if there was anything else she could do for me (a question never posed to me before in this situation) and looked directly into my eyes very seriously (i could be reading into this, but it did seem out of place). Prior to my rolling up my sleeve, she hadn't really made eye contact with me at all. Thankfully she asked if the right arm was fine to use (since the left is far worse and newer).
Other than that, i had my usual jitters about needles (odd that it is ok for me to be my own scratching post, but not a pin cushion) and just kept breathing and didn't watch.
thanks for the thoughts =)
