blood draw
October 28th, 2008 at 7:50 am (General)
today i’m going to get my blood drawn. for the first time in long time due to the previously mentioned phobia of getting my skin punctured or cut.
i’ve been tired for ages and my doctor, of course, wants to draw blood. it’s like the most rutine medical procedure next to “open up and say ah”. but for me… i’ve been nervous for days. mamapajama just had her second major surgery in 18 mos and i’m worried about a little blood draw? i have great veins for it, it shouldn’t take long, it’s a perfectly normal thing to do.
today we find out if all that acupuncture has helped. one of the needles i could do was the one in my elbow, so… i’m going to try to psych myself out to imagine that’s what she’s going to do today.
i’ve had to fast, so i’m taking a bag of yummy “fancy” cookies with me as a reward.
