Today's medical adventure was fun. They poked me with needles, then they sliced and scanned me!
Ughghg
the blood draw though. I think she took 6 vials. Normally they only
take 2 or 3, so not sure what tests the doctor ordered in addition to
what we discussed when I was there. The nurse stuck me and started the
draw, switched vials... and kept switching, and switching, and
switching..... and I was like... whaaaaa.
Since I had to fast last night and wasn't able to take my
medications before the lab draw, we got a wheelchair escort to be on the
safe side and avoid potential syncope episodes. They wheeled us back
and forth between Baldwin and Gonda.
Ember did real well with the wheelchair and elevators, despite the
limited exposure she's had to working with me in a wheelchair. She
followed into elevators and backed out of them beautifully and laid
quietly in the exam room, curiously watching the bone density scanner as
it did its thing. It was interesting watching the monitor and program
they use for it. It slices the scan into segments as it works to
complete the image. Waiting on results.
