Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 : Even if that great big doctor sticks a big fat needle in you and takes copious amounts of blood, if you are very, very good you'll get a sticker out of the deal. Here's hoping that you survived the ordeal and that your sticker is a pretty pink...or, in your case, a vibrant blue. LOL!! Abby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Wanted to thank you all for the good wishes regarding the bloods. The procedure did not go well. I had to fast for 12 hours and if you know me you will know that I don't do that well either. I do like to eat, reminds me of the word for yesterday (I subscribe to an email service, called A Word A Day). The word was Crapulent, means sick from excessive eating or drinking. The usage note includes this sentence " A doctor examining one of his more crapulent patients said to him, 'Your body is a temple and your congregation is too large.' " Anyway, back to the bloods, the nurse stuck a needle in my right arm but couldn't find the vein, she said it was because of the dehydration, so had to stick a needle in my left arm too. Was awful. Am only now recovering. It's not the sight of blood that does it, can handle that, just don't like needles piercing me. Call me a wimp, I understand.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 you're a wimp...teehee... I get a needle every 12 weeks for birth control. It's a lot better than the alternative...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 , I'm glad the worst is over! I just hate needles and have had some awful horror stories concerning them. I usually joke that they should make the vial last cause I'm not coming in again any time soon! Courage Re: Dr tomorrow >Wanted to thank you all for the good wishes regarding the bloods.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 , My husband has a problem with needles, too, and like you, is definitely not a wimp. Blood doesn't bother him a bit either, but he passes out if they come near him with a needle (we have to turn the TV channel if someone is getting a shot). Had he been sitting in your seat, he would have been long gone before they gave up on the first arm. Sorry to hear that it was not a good exerience, but glad to see that you are recovering OK. Funny crapulent story! It sounds like so many of us here put on a few pounds during the caregiving years. Wonder if there is a special word for caregivers weight gain? or maybe we should coin one?

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2004 Report Share Posted January 22, 2004 Peggy, I too have gained weight, weigh more than ever in my life, except when I was pregnant. I lost 10 lbs right after Stan's stroke to 125 lbs. I now weigh 140 lbs, at 5'4 1/2 " tall. Need to weigh around 130 lbs. Oh well, I just hope I don't continue to gain. I wonder if the its the zoloft I'm taking.
