I nearly forgot; today was my scheduled consultation with my cardiologist. I must have my blood extracted with 5cc for Prothrombin time and Prothrombin Activity. I watched the phlebotomist insert the needle of a 5cc syringe, but my vein suddenly did not show up. The medical technologist started to tremble especially when I told him to relax because I am a nurse and I can endure the prick.
The second time at my right arm was successful. I was informed to wait for 1 and ½ hours for the result. I had to play the games on my phone to kill the time. The result was within my normal range. That was nice; at least I have already conditioned myself not eating dark green leafy vegetables.
If something unusual happens in just one day, do you mark it on your calendar?
I will share more of my day in my next discussions.

yes. I watched the lab technician insert the needle (my 2nd time to watch it,; twice the vein hid). I told Edison not to worry because I can endure the prick, after I told him I am a nurse.

Well, I never liked getting tests done but figured out really fast that there was nothing to it glad you could get it done.

I am already accustomed into getting my arm pricked for the test. I would just prefer having it done one prick only, but sometimes, my visible vein gets invisible.

@ridingbet yes, I had but there were times I burn some of the pages, or if not, the whole notebook. Haha! I just write at the moment then throw them away afterwards. Lol! Silly me!

yes, because we may never know, if the time will come that we may become forgetful.

I have posted the pictures on FB, and I will just recall the date after the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
