I'm basically over it

[cjsmith]

I got blood drawn yesterday morning - SEVEN TUBES thank you very much - and I did not feel one iota of wooziness.

Granted, I didn't watch, but it's not as if I didn't feel every bit of it. I wasn't coasting through by being blissfully unaware. I think I'm finally cured of my phlebotomy squeamishness!

(I blame my diabetic cat and a year of Saturdays working at a vet clinic. And the B12 self-injections, I guess.)

Wow, yeah, I can see how that would do it. *sigh*

(You're OK now, yes? It was one of the recoverable forms?)

Yeah, it was "A". I was sick for a couple of months, then another year or so to actually recover. I just can't give blood or anything. Happened a long time ago.

Gotcha. (Phew.) I know it can be bad, but in the best case, the only permanent side effect is that you'll never get A again. Glad to hear your liver is fine.

Well, I can't drink worth a damn. I get really sick, really fast if I drink to excess. So, I don't drink to excess.

Ugg. Yeah. :-/
