#53 - Don't Like Having Blood Drawn

8/7/2016

Well, who does?

But I asked for this. I signed the papers to be in a medical study that means I get my blood drawn 12 days in a row.  The good news is, my nurse, Augusta comes right to my house. And she let me pick the time. I chose 9 am, which sort of pressures me to get going in the world.

No I don't grin with delight every time the needle goes in... we are hamming it up for the photo.  

Smooth and 
Quick
​

But I've been keeping hydrated to make the job easier for Augusta.  And so far, she's done a smooth and quick job of it!

In truth, Augusta has been a sweet surprise in the midst of all the inconvenience I've been dealing with!  We have talked about her life as a nurse in Nigeria and her 20+ years of nursing in The States. She was delighted when she found out I knew about her favorite food, Fufu.  She couldn't believe I'd feasted on some in a Nigerian restaurant in Houston.  Every day we laugh a little time together.  I rave about her clothes and hair (although she's sometimes in scrubs) And Augusta keeps me boosted, by saying I really don't look like I'm 59.  An interesting way to start each day.

    Cancer, Covid
    & Coronary...


    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast cancer and then I was done.

    On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. Only this time, it was affecting more than me. I ranted for a year, until I got my vaccine in March 2021.

    Coronary Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was Don who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C".

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent!  I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post!
