thank you doctor...

- oops
- you'll feel a slight pinch... you know it's not just a pinch...
- your blood has stopped coming out, must have collapsed the vein, we'll try poking you again... perfect, just what I wanted...
- ok, the test came back and it read your heart beat as abnormal, nothing to worry about, have a good day.... are you serious doc? no explanations....
- wow, your knees really are fat.. thanks, I needed to hear that...
- this medicine will make you eat a lot and gain weight
- this medicine will make you lose your appetite ... really does everything have to affect my eating habits, I rather like eating ya know!!
- and I know there are many more, but these were my personal favorites...

So, today Josh and I had to get TB tests at the health center so we can volunteer at the state hospital. That was fine and all, it stings for a sec then it done. Fine if that was all, but no, I was lucky enough to get by blood drawn again. It took awhile for the request from the nurse to get to the lab so it left me waiting in the room a little longer than I had wanted. I would have been ok if they had done it real quick leaving me little time to think, but no, I got to wait. This left time for me to start freaking out and complain to Josh about how I really didn't want to get the blood drawn. Anyways, they finally call my name and I go back and sit in the nice blue chair and wait for the guy to find a "good juicy vein". He finally decides he has one so he pokes me, lucky for him he got it the first time (a rare incidence in my case). He fills up the first rather large tube very slowly because my blood isn't flowing too fast, then he goes to stick in the next one and nothing... so he starts moving the needle around in my arm and no luck, the vein collapsed... great... thankfully he was kind enough to get a more experienced guy to come over and poke my other arm. He does it easily, but still, my arms hurt after. I am saying this because I realize I am weak. I realize I am not the strongest when it comes to drawing blood, but I just seem to have bad experiences. This one I must admit was actually one of the better times. Anyways, I needed to tell someone so I wrote this post...
