Today I had a series of appointments for blood work and CT. For most of the year I had blood work or needles every week. Now I am not a fan of the needles. It brings me back memories of when I was going through treatment. For my bloodwork in the morning it was a nurse that I had previously and she remembered me so it was nice to chat with her. I still find it amusing that she remembers who I am. She had a student with her and we chatted for a bit and it came up that her nephew now works with me and is someone I actually know. The memory was nowhere near as bad as the experience and it was rather painless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a CT scan at 9pm and I required needles for this as well. They used a device to find the vein and she thought that she had found a really good one. I informed her that she can give it a try but no one has ever been successful with that one. So far we are 0\/20 with that vein. This was rather painless as well, but I still am not fond of the needles. I was in and out rather quickly as opposed to having to drink some of the fluid prior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we were at the hospital we ran into several friends and it was nice to see them again. One of them was a mother from hockey and the other was an old colleague that I use to work with. I am tired now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
