Diabetes test - Take two

I went for my diabetic test today. I got up at five something this morning, woke up my family and off we went. I got there about 6:30 and we were there until 10:00. They drew my blood four times!! She kept alternating arms and telling me how lucky I was that I had good veins. I did not feel so 'lucky'. My arms are hurting and bruised, both of them, but all in all it went fine. The last time she took blood I got faint feeling. It was funny, I did not even realize what was happening. She told me I was looking flushed and I said it was really hot in there. LOL. Everything was swimming in front of me. Another nurse came in with a wet paper towels for my forehead and they kept telling me to cough, cough, cough. (I assuming coughing forces the blood back to your head?) I don't know what happened, I mean this was the fourth time in 3 hours she had taken my blood, I was not nervous or anything. I guess since it was so late and I had been fasting since midnight and drank all that sugar, my body tried to shut down on me..... too funny. Closest I have ever come to fainting. Well, second closest.... that is a story for another time.

The good thing was the LabCorp in Ocala actually has a glucose testing waiting room. It has two recliners and a TV/DVD combo. Alysha and I stretched out, watched two movies (Serendipity and Runaway bride) and rested. Where was Jon, you ask? He stayed in the car and slept the WHOLE time. I will just call him my personal driver. lol. This time was a lot better. Drinking that stuff did not make me sick and feel awful like it did last time. This time it really did not affect me at all, I hope that is a good sign like my body processed it better this time. The only flavor they had was Orange, which was SO much better than the cherry. I did not gag at all, it tasted decent.

I am just glad its over. I will get the results next week sometime.
