Ouch! I had my insulin/glucose test today. The vampire, I mean nurse, Wendy took my blood. She was my favorite blood-taker last year since she usually got the vein pretty quickly. Not as easy today, partially because I hadn't had any fluids (and I've only had a Diet Coke since then. I've GOT to start drinking more water!). It'll probably bruise, and the bandages they use irritate my arm. But, it was a very familiar feeling going to the lab this morning, since I made so many visits there last year. Unfortunately, the last one before today was just to doublecheck that I wasn't pregnant. Since I'd gotten a 5 and not a zero or negative number on my beta (pregnancy) test, they had to make sure it had gone back to nothing, and it had. I do have a good feeling this time.
