Had to wake up at 4am this morning to get ready..be on the road by 5 to get there at 6. Get there and she blows my vein first try. I felt like a pin-cushion for those 3 hours!!! I hate needles..they scare the crap out of me, so everytime it would just make me cringe knowning it was about to go into my skin. Then everytime I had the blood drawn I would get up and get either nauseas or lightheaded. So needless to say..it was not fun and I pitty anyone who has to go through that! The drink is horrible (of course), I was gagging on that, then you add a kicking and squirming baby in the mix of your stomach turning...not a very pleasant feeling. But I'm done complaining..its done and over with..I'm just exhausted and now have nice two bruised arms :D I think tonight will be the first night that I get a good nights rest in a looooooong time!
That is such a fun test. Though I didn't think the drink was that bad. They served it cold at the lab I went to. it was the not eating that was a problem for me - so that sugary burst was helpful.
