NEWSFLASH: not dead yet

I’mma start a Tumblr for this shit, guys:

I never get normal search terms around here.  I don’t know what the hell is going on with either of those, although the real bullshit is that I know exactly which post both of them went to.

Anyway.  Went to the doctor.  She established the following:

  • I have not had a heart attack;
  • My blood sugar is normal.

Beyond that?  Right now everyone is clueless.  I have been ordered to not go to work for at least one more day and I have a battery of blood tests I have to go have done tomorrow.  I’m going to call tomorrow afternoon for additional instructions after the blood testing.  For whatever it’s worth, right now I actually don’t feel too bad other than the pervasive “I could just go to bed right now” feeling, but that’s been basically constant since Saturday morning.  I did manage to have dinner without incident; that’s progress.

Tomorrow is my one-year blogiversary, by the way. I was planning on making a big deal out of it but that’ll have to depend on whether the vampires completely drain me or leave me alive tomorrow.  I have, historically, not had great luck with blood draws; I have the veins of a 70-year old heroin addict.  (True fact: the last time I had to have blood drawn, at a medical facility that basically only exists to do bloodwork for other doctors, it took four different nurses to hit a vein– and I damn near passed out in between the third and fourth nurse for reasons that even now remain unclear.  Nurses hate my veins.  I don’t know why.)

So… yeah.  Not dead yet.  Not much else to say, though.

  1. Sorry to hear your still not feeling well, hope things start to get better soon ! As for your 70 year old heroin veins when you find a solution for that let me know I seem to have the same problem. The only thing that seems to be of any help is a good Phlebotomist using a pediatric size needle for the blood draw,and even that doesn’t always make a big difference.

  2. Sorry to hear you feel bad. I have only one vein I allow nurses to draw blood from. The rest “roll” and can’t be hit. It’s horrible. Glad I have the one though. Praying for a speedy recovery! (((Hugs)))

  3. I feel your pain with the blood draws. I have one vein on the top of my hand and just below the knuckle that will usually cooperate…if they use a tiny butterfly needle. But there have been many times that I have been sent to another facility or they sent for one of the people that work on the Life Flight helicopters. My veins are very tiny and fragile. I’m sorry you aren’t feeling well and very glad it wasn’t a heart attack. I hope you get answers soon!
