My Old Self - Only with Less Blood
Had to have my day 3 blood work done today. Thankfully after last night's horrible pain, it seems that that is all over. At least until next month. I had to fast for 12 hours, which really ended up being more like 11.5 hours. I was pretty hungry this morning and it really sucked to be making breakfast for my kids and sitting there while they ate it and I was starving. I felt fine by the time I got to the lab though.
Only had to wait about 5 minutes which was good since I had both kids with me. The phlebotomist complimented me on how adorable and well behaved my kids are. They started removing my blood. They had to take a bunch. Then apparently my blood stopped flowing or I ran out. I must have made some more though because they were able to finish. I felt better after fasting and having all my blood removed than I did the last two times I went when they only removed a little of my blood and I got to eat first.
I still don't have my sonohysterogram scheduled. I called Monday but the lady who does the scheduling was out. I left a message. She didn't call back. I called again this morning. She called back (while I was eating lunch with my mom) and said she would have to call back after she figured something out because the next appointment my RE has isn't until July 20 and that would be too late. She never called back. I called her again a little after 4 and was told that she was gone. Great. More phone calls to make.
My mom asked me about the phone call that I had gotten during lunch. I told her that I have to have a test done because I have been having these awful, painful periods that keep getting worse. I figured it was a good lie. I can keep using this whole testing because of the painful period thing if I need her to watch the kids over the next few months.
