my day yesterday (blood work, falling, mammos, bone scans....)

The saga of blood work, falling down, mammograms and bone scans.....I went and got my blood drawn for my upcoming doc appointment. I am what they call a "hard stick". She poked me once in the arm and I was so numb I felt NOTHING! Unfortunately she didn't stick it where there was blood. LOL.... She decided to try the back of my hand and it worked! Normally those hand veins roll away and collapse but she got a tube of blood, pulled out the needle and said "all done!" I said you only needed one this time? She looked at the orders and said "oops". ROFL The third stick was not as easy but I've been through much worse. Then it was home for awhile before getting ready for my appt for the mammo and bone scan. I got dressed and fell in the dogs water dish on my way out of the room. After dressing a second time I made it to my testing.... That was the first time I've ever had a bone scan and I feel some trepidation over finding out the results when I see my internist on the 28th.Today my left side is sore from the fall but I've certainly had worse... Just a little sore. It's always scary to fall. For me it isn't just the fall but it's what the fall means in my mind. (worsening of MS? you know) I'm glad I didn't do a "Jackie" on my knee!Sharon

I was trying to daydrem, but my mind kept wandering. <!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><!--[endif]-->

Sharon-

What a day! Isn't that just the way it goes...On the day you go to have a bone scan done, that's the day you fall and almost break one. Well, I hope everything turns out well.

You're right, falling is scary. I took up walking over the summer, but after falling hard 3 times, my fiance said, "No more!". I'm not one to just sit around, so...as soon as I get some shoes with wide soles I'll be walking again.Hmmm....Seems like I've said this before.

Hope your side is feeling better. Blessed be...

Oh my

gosh!! You fell in the dogs water dish?? Dang

dogs, tell them to keep their dishes up! ;-) Yes, I’m glad you didn’t

fall on your knee too. Mine is just now getting to the point where I can kneel

on my mattress a little. Funny thing though, my other knee is sore too, and I don’t

remember hitting it or anything. I hope your side will be okay soon. After a

couple days you may notice other areas are hurting. I sure would like someone to explain to

me why our MS worsens over stuff like this? The stress of it all do ya suppose?

Every time I’ve fallen I’ve progressed a little more.

When I have blood drawn I always

ask for a “butterfly” needle set up. They can’t find the vein

in my arm anymore, but the ones on the back of my hand are visible. The butterfly

needle is small and it has a tube that is connected where the blood flows into

the glass vials. I guess we have to

make sure we ask how many they want before they start?

Take it easy, Hugs, Jackie

It's okay to laugh because I laughed too. Well, I didn't laugh when I fell but I laughed later at my form of "luck". It was okay because I didn't want to reallly wear that skirt anyway.... and the skirt dripping with dog water helped me make that decision. I changed into pants and was much warmer. I normally wear dresses but since I was having a mammogram I wanted to be able to just take off my shirt instead of standing there with it all hanging out, you know? When you have kids you must be very resilient and able to change course at a moments notice. When my daughter-in-law was working some years ago she was in a rush for work (as usual) and had the kids ready to go to the sitter. She went to get dressed herself. She came rushing out ready to go and the

kids had decided to make chocolate milk. The were on the kitchen floor FINGERPAINTING with the milk and chocolate syrup. ROFL Of course they were also covered. She went berserk, as you can imagine. The kids were very little. They got tossed in the bath, then dressed so fast they didn't know what hit them. Poor . Then there was the time my son (father of the same children) went to several automotive parts stores getting parts to fix his truck. After he got home he found out he had gone to all those "guy places" with a big old sticky, hairy candy stuck on the back of his shirt. LOLhugs)))Sharon I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering. Re: my day yesterday (blood work, falling, mammos, bone scans....) I'm sorry I laughed when I read your post.
