Today I had a blood test at 9:30am
I was dreading it I felt really anxious from the moment I woke up!
stupid isnt it
We left at 9:20 and arrived home at 10:30am
I kid you not I was an 1 hour having a blood test
lets say I didnt cope well
when I was 18 I had so many blood tests I was like a pin cushion
and eventually I got better with it all
but now its been a whole year since I've had a blood test
I went into the room heart racing my mama informed the nurse
that I dont cope well with blood tests
so she altered the seat I was in so I wasnt completely upright
I could other patient's blood samples which made me feel sick
the nurse then started unwrapping an adult needle which is massive!!
I panicked my mama telling me all the time "calm down relax"
it meant nothing to me in that room
I said to the nurse "I usually have a smaller needle than that"
so she got the child's one
then it all starts doesnt it
to which i could feel myself sweating, nauseous and then I went
just passed out I could start to hear them asking if I was there
and I couldn't speak to reply back
so I came round and the vampire I mean nurse had finished
I felt really awful then my eyes killed like someone was pushing them
into my skull never felt anything like it i dont suffer with eye pain haha
my head hurt and then I went again passed out all because I sat upright
so I came round again at this point I was handed water
I was starting to feel better now but then the nurse and my mama
was talking about what had just happened
like my face turning pale >> gray >>green
now how my face changed to those colours I do not know
my blood is red not gray or green....
just them talking about this and telling me what I was being tested for
made me go again yes again 3 TIMES!!!
I was getting very cross at myself now as I knew I was causing
problems for the nurse she was now behind schedule
and had patients waiting outside because of me
I couldnt say sorry enough times
but I had no control over what was happening to me - its just werid
she said I was really sweet and not a bother
she called another nurse through who then took my blood pressue
it read 80/50 which is very very low
so no wonder I kept passing out
so I sat a bit and drank water I just wanted to get the hell out of that place
then I said "i am feeling a bit better now" so mama and the nurse
walked me out to the waiting room where I was to sit and rest before
leaving for home also the nurse wanted to check my blood pressure
again before I left
she wanted it over 100
but when she did take it it was 92
but I told them not to worry as I have naturally low blood pressure anyway
and that I would relax at home
I was wet with sweat and felt drained
mama took me home
let me get this straight
I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS BAD BEFORE
I have passed out before yes but it would only be once
and normally during the procedure - mama said the nurse's
hand was shaking whilst she was drawing blood she could
see I wasnt right
I'm such a bother arent i
anyway I cheered up and recovered at home with popu hazel and kip at my side
I then rang up work to ask if I needed to come in or if it could wait
til Tuesday when I go in for training
and it could wait so I got to have all of friday with mama
been a long time since thats happened
so it was nice
we decided to go clothes shopping
I picked up a red jacket for £5, new pajamas, 2 t-shirts to give to my brother
we picked up other things as well of course
came home and had lunch together
we then went to granny's I put up her xmas decorations
as granny likes decorations and christmas
my household doesnt so our decorations has to wait
Granny had a mysterious parcel sent to her today
with my name on
all 3 us had no idea what it could be
and when I opened it cards fell out
addressed to us all
and there was a walking to stick to paint
my auntie lynn from the other week had sent us
christmas cards and the walking stick she was talking about
shes so lovely I have only met her twice!
so I'm gonna paint it at the weekend for granny to use :)
so I had a nice day
I am gonna do some dancing now
I uploaded a dance today
some people liked it some people didnt
to be expected
anyway sorry for the longness!
