Medical morning

[cjsmith]

This morning's agenda kept me hopping:

- Blood draw for Lyme disease test
- Doctor appointment with my GP, which earned me...
- Blood draw for vitamin D levels and a very detailed cholesterol panel

And guess what I did? Am I doing better or WHAT?

I

WATCHED.

A half hour later my blood pressure was still a touch lower than expected, so yeah, there are effects, but overall I'm getting so much better about needles and suchlike. (I do, however, have a new bruise inside each elbow.)

I'm majorly impressed. Who knew I'd be doing this well this quickly? And honestly, if I wanted to be unsqueamish, I've been handed every lesson in exactly the right order: diabetic cat, watching blood get drawn, getting blood drawn from me a bunch, injecting myself. Now if I could draw my own blood I'd be a superstar.
