bonny, I've never made it past the pin prick and iron test. I pass out from the pin prick and then they say my iron is low. le sigh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have English mad-cow-tainted blood and am such a hard stick that the nurses seem pissed I don't have a port-a-cath. Oh, the stories I won't tell the trypanophobes.

I honestly can't believe I got past the pin prick...or that I asked for a second one. But, I will say, it went faster and hurt less than I expected. My fingers hurt more now than they did then!
On the way home, I asked my friend if I really made that much noise...such that people would rush over to ask if I was okay. I swear, I did not hear myself. J paused for a long time, "There was a...well...a...peep." Bless him.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I made up a little song about how very grown up I am and sang it in the bath. That helped.
Hee! I hope you have indeed found your house.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Vortex, have any pepcid around? --it is an H2 blocker -- which helps with skin reactions according to the doctor in the ER ( from the last time I had to take Matt in for a bad allergic reaction) It seems to help whe I get itchy
and the red cross standards for iron are very high.I need to be much lower for my doctor to pay attention to them

actually, I have some lora-something, which should work (of course, it's like 2 years old and may be expired)

The status is NOT quo.
Sean, I'm so happy to see all these great reviews! Btw, thanks again for feeding my furballs and walking Zoe tonight. I didn't get home until 9, so they would have been very unhappy with me.
I feel like I have so much I want to talk about with all of you. Lots going on. Yet I keep starting to type and then deciding what I have to say just isn't that important or feeling too tired to even articulate it all. Nothing bad really. Just life stuff. And I'm missing ND. Being alone isn't anywhere near the trigger it used to be for me five years ago, but it's hard sometimes.
