finger pricks & cat scans

yesterday i couldn’t eat or drink anything other than water until my blood test. they checked my glucose level (which was normal) with a finger prick then she squeezed the blood into this machine to measure my blood sugar. i’m telling ya that finger prick hurt worse than when they took 2 vials of blood a couple weeks ago. the nurse agreed that it’s more painful than a regular needle. that bad boy jams up into your finger like nobody’s business. i was bleeding like crazy. so the good news is i’m at a normal sugar level so i’m not diabetic. jon and i were almost disappointed in the news because this means we still don’t know what’s wrong with me and if i were diabetic we could at least treat that.

so after bloodwork we went to lunch at the roasting company. very good stuff. then headed over to the hospital for my cat scan. that machine was HUGE! it was all clicks and spinning and moving me around. but it only took like 10 minutes. we’ll know something in a week or so.
