OMG that is so true ff, I get different blood work done a few times a year and you get some phlebo-thingos who are great at it and make it just painless.

Oh I almost forgot, I'm af today too!

Good Morning ODAT-ers!

I hope everyone on the East Coast is safe and sound. I have a little mutt named Sandy...her ears perk up when she hears the TV talking about "her". LOL

LG - I like your new Avatar....is that you sleeping at work?

Have a great day everyone!

Ffp: I wish they could give me a pill to knock me out for the blood draw. It is just unnatural to see a needle going into a body!! I would be a horrible iV drug user!

Ya, you give me hope that its just my gallbladder problem: so less fat more veggies. I can do that. Thanks ffp.

Alc, I use a little trick when I get blood drawn, I never ever look at the needle so as soon as I sit in the chair I turn my head the other way and don't look over until it's over. If I actually watched them doing it I would probably just pass out :H

Drinkingal: I know!!! I usually have 2-3 friends hold my hands feet basically strapped me down! It was embarrassing! Now I moved to a new area, not as many daring friends willing to do that to me....so I will have to so what you suggest... Thanks...

Got an idea! The day of blood work ill have my phone, I'll obsessively post w one hand while they draw blood from the other arm, what do you think???????

Happy ODAT everyone.

Today I will not drink because I like the healthier me (exercise has been a huge part of my success).

I wish you all one AF day after another.

To all the East Coasters - stay safe. :l

A friend of mine came into work one day with a sprained ankle. The story was just so funny to me (probably not to her). She went to get her blood drawn, looked at the needle, passed out and fell out of the chair but her foot was hooked around the bottom, and her ankle got sprained. I'm sorry but that was funny!
