I went in for lab work this morning, I am SO not a morning person and I am SO not a needle in the arm person, so this morning? not so much fun for me.

I'm a big baby about having blood drawn, I would rather have been in surgery this morning instead.

The guy had no sense of humor, and he was not impressed with mine either...he's probably not a morning person.

 

Surgery still seems so far away, and I feel like I have nothing to do until then, no Doctor visits, nothing.

I do think I'm going to try to make a support group meeting next week, and that might make it more real to me, because right now 2 weeks seems like 2 years.

    Isn't it weird how people react to needles so differently? I feel like you are of the norm and I, who is only comfortable while watching the needle go into my arm and watching it come out, am the weird one. Good luck in two weeks!

    The needle used to do the fills is painless. I never even had them numb the area. Just don't look.
