Been to the Doctor...

and boy, is it strange! The Dr. sent me for half a page of tests, which were done this morning prior to my 0930 class, and I won't know the results for a few days.

The poor lab tech who drew my multiple vials of blood didn't believe me when I warned her that my veins were difficult to find and that they would roll if not trapped in place. She believes me now. The Xray tech was a trainee so they had to shoot the films twice, and the nurse who ran the EKG/ECG/something or other had to shave little round spots on my so she could stick the receptor pads onto my skin. I look like I've been the victim of an alien abduction and examination!

Ah, well....could be worse....I could be grading research papers done by asian students...

No, that's NEXT weekend....

Every time I hear about the IHS, I think Socialized Medicine is a bad, bad idea.

I hope the tests come back saying you're in good shape. Or, at the very least, that you'd be in great shape if you exercised an hour a day and only ate fresh greens. That'll put you on par with the rest of America, so no need to worry.

BTW - I see you're getting comment spam. If you login to your blog like you're going to add a new entry and go to the "comments" tab, there's a new option to "require user verification." Click the box and that'll kill all future comment spam. At least, so far it's worked for us.

Best of luck on the tests!
