Crazy-Ass Hand Veins

When did I start having these crazy-ass hand veins?  How did that happen?!?  I’m 44 with the hands of a grandmother.  I want to raise my hands above my heart so that all the blood rushes from them and I can pretend they are still young and pretty and not all  blue and bulgy and veiny.

The last time I was under a general anesthetic?  I didn’t have bulgy veins for several weeks.  It was fantastic!  My hands looked like a teenager’s.  Does your blood get thinner with a general?  If I had elective surgery every little while, would my hands look younger too?  They could give me a shot of botox for my forehead lines, but do it while I was under a general and I’d wake up with a young face AND young hands. 

My hands totally give me away.  My face, from a relative distance, appears young – full of vim and vigour.  My hands?  Might be mistaken for the Evil Queen’s from Disney’s Snow White.  I shall endeavour to turn this into a ‘glass 1/2 full’ moment… If I were to be hospitalized, they’d have NO problem finding a vein for the IV.  There, see?  Always a bright side.

Although, when I’m having sex, I do try to leave my hands over my head so that David doesn’t think that he’s giving an octogenarian a good rogering.
