Good Morning, who thought pregnant women with the worst case of heartburn fasting was a great idea??? Seriously up all night, drank tinest bit of Malox I could to try and sleep but I am ready for my draws!
Back-up again I hate needles and this whole blood draw thing...When I went for my first OB with Chloe I passed out cold in the lab with the 6 viles they have to draw and they had to sound the alarm button as I would not wake right up...I have come a long way since then but still hate them.
I have small veins so they say and sometimes it works best for them to use the Child Needle on me...that is only after they dont listen to me tell them where/what arm and to use the child needle that they have stuck me and it's not working.
I am bruised badly from my hospital stay and last weeks glucose test already but who cares right?
This time they have orange and lemon lime drink-what happened to the cola version from last week it's all gone, that's a shame? Who makes a cola version it is disgusting but I am still wondering about the persons mental state that would think that was a good idea...? they have obviously never tasted it or had to do this crap test or they would have found a better flavor.
I brought my Kindle, fashion Mags that I know have time to actually read cover to cover and settled in. I loved the people watching going on in the waiting room today....all the sick little kids who had to do strep tests or have blood drawn they hated it more than I did....but what I found funny was all the women that brought/made thier husbands come to thier appts with them. I know not a sentimental person but many of them just through hearing them talk were not even getting an ultra sound...why would they have to come I wonder as I am sitting there with all my time. This time Brady has not even come, I update him when I leave and show him the ultra sound photos but he is busy and so am I so why would he have to miss work/coaching/or taking care of Chloe to come. Mostly I do the 730pm appts my OB has so I can see some husbands coming then but I have switched to mornings and today sat in his waiting area while doing my tests and am still shaking my head?? I guess this is where someone else will have to chime in.
On the last draw today I actually did start to cry, I think the needle just about went through and seriously my arms could not take it....Praying that these tests work out awesome and I never, well not for a few weeks have to see those people anyway. Yes I cried, it really did hurt this from the girl who always on the pain scale says 2 (low) I just dont either know or care to complain a csection is suppose to hurt right? Contractions are suppose to hurt so what's the pain scale for?
Now I am home and have thought about blogging just to put down my thoughts, keep me busy and cure my need to type, so here we are in the present and as I am sit/laying down I keep reminding myself not lazy for a good cause...will my re-wiring ever kick in? Oh and thank goodness for my Mom still watching Chloe the same as always because bedrest with her running around would be harder than work:)
Hang in there, Brandy!! Cheering you on and hoping all goes well! And I know all too well about hospital stays, blood draws and tests. Having been through it all, it still doesn't get easier. Thinking of you and hoping time goes by quickly for you! - Heidi
