Blood test drama

So much drama today for Beta #3!

First, traffic was ridiculous. I'm talking 3 cycles at a light. Ugh.

And about 60 minutes in the car is about all my bladder can take. I do drink water in the car, but goodness! I had to pee so badly that I was yelling curses at people in the car (windows up).

Then I couldn't find street parking. Boo. Gave up (since I was about to wet myself) and paid $10 to park in the tiniest lot ever.

RAN to the office. Tried the bathroom in the hallway... Locked. Boo!

Ran into office, scribbled my info on the intake form, practically threw it at the nurse and unabashedly RACED to the restroom. I'm really glad there was no one in my direct line of travel. I would have mowed anyone down at that point!

After the blessed relief. I went and sat down like a normal person. Aaaah!

But the problems did not end there. 3 tries and two techs to draw my blood. Extra fun for a person who is TERRIFIED of needles. We had issues for beta 2 as well. I hate having blood drawn but I've never had issues like this before. Usually just terror. I'm thinking that Small One doesn't want to share. 😘

Now we wait. Based on the first two, I should expect to hear from my nurse around 2 pm.

  2. LOL! I know. But I think my nurse has a rule that she must call me between 2 and 3 pm!
