I’m the Blood Nazi: No Blood For You!
(The title is in reference to the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld, only it has been altered to fit this entry. I am in no way advocating Nazism.)
I went to the doctor this morning to check on my foot. He was pretty stumped, but said it could be weight related. He’s going to keep me on the Lasix for the time being. It should only be used as needed, though. Of course, due to the lovely main side effect, I’m not going to take it when it isn’t needed. (I’m not discussing what said side effect is.)
I had to have more blood work done. This time I thought that they might actually get some because the guy doing it ALWAYS gets my blood on the first try. He’s THAT good. Well, this time, he missed the first time because the vein rolled. The second time, the vein blew. Because he’s employed by Huntsville Hospital, he can only stick me twice. (They have a 2 stick rule.) The other two people didn’t want to risk sticking me. So, instead of getting the 2 tubes of blood, they only got 1/2 of 1 tube. They’re only going to be able to do 2 of the 3 tests. I just hope they don’t miss any test that is really needed.
I’ve had trouble staying awake today. I just feel so weak and sleepy. I wish I knew what was really causing all this crap. Between the swelling, the headaches, the chest pain, the insomnia at night, and the weakness, I’m just worried about my health.
