4th Shot

Uneventful night but woke up with a “take a headache” feeling. I did nothing all day and rested.

Last Thursday was a bad one. I know not to push myself too much because it made me ill. Managed to get into a heated discussion at work with a whining co-worker and it shocked the hell out of her when I came up fighting. LOL This riba has kind of empowered me.

Had my blood tests done on Friday and managed to get a different clerk. She asked the same questions as the other clerk so my pals on the forum were right. The blood lab clerks are asking standard questions because of the type of tests the NP is requesting.
I will NOT give them any information about my treatment. It’s none of their business.

Anyhow, one vein collapsed (my one good one!) and the lady had to stab me again. It was hard to get it to stop bleeding so I expect the bloods will show something this week. I bruised badly where I had the needle stick.

I also have one good vein in my entire body, and it's not at the inside elbow crease, where the phlebotomists expect you to have veins. I've had bruises the size of small countries from having blood drawn.

LOL I hear ya! I was so disappointed when the good one gave up.

It had to happen. How many pokes can the same vein take!
