Blood Draws.

My blood draw this morning seemed to match my grumpy mood. I woke up and didn't eat/drink anything in case it was a fasting draw (Since no one had told me) I got there, and apparently I was supposed to make an appointment, but no one had arranged one and I was given the impression I could just stop by (wrong) So they shipped me over to the hospital lab. But apparently the way the bloodwork was filed made it really confusing, and they also sent over my 24hrUrine lab order, which confused them even more. I finally explained to them what I needed to get done, this of course after I was told I "had" to pee, which tell that to someone who's already done their morning pee 30 minutes ago and had no liquid since the night before.

Luckily it all got sorted out, for the most part. All I really cared about was getting the Cortisol levels taken. I confronted my fear - that I'm still a really hard stick, my veins apparently don't like cooperating. Finally some on my left arm decided to play nice, and she was able to get it done.

And now, we wait.
