When you did this, were you afraid?

No, why would I be? GTTs are done every day on many people.

Blood draw #5 (hour 4) hurt because the needle wasn't fully in the center of the vein's lumen, was kinda on the edge.

Sometimes when the pt is a bit nervous, so gets the tech! You did quite well and having great veins surely helps.
