From Huskies To Husbands

I am sure that is how the nice lady at the hospital laboratory felt this morning while trying to get enough blood from me to run the tests the PA had ordered.  I am a hard stick to begin with and then it just stopped flowing… So not fun!  She went and checked with the techs that were going to run the tests and they hoped that there was enough blood.  One of them came over and even looked and looked for another place to draw from that might work out and just said never mind and that they would try to stretch it.  I hope that they are successful and get everything done that the PA ordered so that we can get some results that actually tell us something!

After the blood draw I headed over to the hospital radiology department for my x-rays.  Holy cow did the manipulations that we had to do to get the x-ray series the PA ordered done hurt!  The poor x-ray tech felt so bad, but it was not her fault at all.  I am limping worse for wear after the x-rays, but again I am hopefull that they will give us some much needed information as to what is going on with my body.

One of my goals for this week is to stay positive.  Keep thinking of the good in life and not dwelling so much on all the bad going on right now.  Mind over matter and all that good stuff.  I know that the pain is there but I am trying to push through it and just keep faith that this new PA is going to figure it out and offer me a life line and soon!  I want some hard answers, no more of this we don’t know what is wrong or how to help you business.  If you don’t know the answer then find someone to send me to that does, please no more brushing me off and letting me fall through the cracks.  I think that the PA I have working with me now feels that way which makes me much more comfortable working with him to find some answers.
