bood test. fasting blood test. this is really gonna fun
for one thing i get into a funk at the sight a needle. can take any amount of pain, as a rule, but needles? eek! and no use looking away and pretending it isn't happening because you can feel it happening can't you?
for another, i have "difficult veins" and they get all the more difficult when scared,
for a third , i can't fast for longer thasn five hours without becomiing increasing ill: muscle cramps, brain going AWOL, seizures etc. Luckily, my body nearly always wakes me up after five hours sleep, so i can stuff one of those snacks that i keep next to my bed down my neck. i'm gonna have to hide those snacks from myself tonight. aren't i?
so i'm kinda hoping that i'll be so out of it, after ten hours fasting, i'll forget to be afraid of the needle. bet i won't be THAT far out of it , though, i just wish.
ah, well, by tomorrow afternoon this is gonna all be in the past, dunno if i'll feel up to posting though. experience says that i'll prolly be a zombie for the next three days after all that fasting. wish me luck !
