I had an unusual experience today
It was a great experience, in a way. But it was unusual.
I had to have a blood test. I hate blood tests. I hate getting stuck with a needle. I know, I am not the only one, but that does not make it any better.
My test was at the former DeKalb Clinic, which is now part of Northwestern Medicine.
I went in, told the person taking the blood that I am a big baby. I took off my glasses and prepared to worry.
She said she could tell by my body language that I was a little up tight, and she kept talking to me about stuff I don't even remember. Then she said, "Ok...hold this while I get a bandage."
I asked he if she was done and she said yes! I never felt the needle go into my arm! It was truly amazing.
She said next time I come to ask for her and she will draw again. But I hope there is no next time.
I did manage to ride around the block today...got a 7 mile bike ride in and my legs are a bit sore right now. Hopefully it will not rain tomorrow and I can get another ride under my wide belt.
All in all it was a pretty good day for us. Two medical appointments done, a little shopping, a bike ride. ...... not a bad day. Plus I used a digital coupon at the grocery store! I downloaded it to my phone and redeemed it! That was also a high point of the day.
Come to think of it, that is pretty sad, isn't it?
Oh well....
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Peace and Love
