Divided in Half

My long day got chopped in half. My hospital appointment ran long. When I got to my son's, he wasn't home. I called him and will be going in about an hour. So, in the meantime, I'm going to get started on the many notifications I have today. It's doubtful I'll get finished. For the first time ever, I was an easy poke. The nurse didn't even need to call the swat nurse. It took the first time instead of two or three. However, the drip decided it was going to have issues, so it took an hour longer than usual. Now to get to your notifications. I hope you've had a good day. Tell me about it. Thanks for reading.

Nothing is ever easy. At least the drip is over. Your son should give you a key.

No, I don't want a key. I'd rather be there when he is.

@just4him Okay. Our son gave us the keys to his house and he has ours. Actually, both kids have ours.

@DianneN That's good because they can make certain all is well when you're not there, like now.

@wolfgirl569 That's good you're an easy poke. I wish I was, but I have small veins and they're easy to blow.

Yes, it does, but it's usually not the case. This is the first time they haven't called the SWAT nurse.

So true. Thank you. There might have been some good to come out of it. I gave a nurse one of my business cards and she might buy one of my books.

I was really hoping that with the easy poke, I wouldn't bruise. Haha. I've got a nice half-dollar size bruise on my arm.

I'm glad it was an easy 'poke' as you say. It's awful, and painful, when they have to hunt around for a vein.

They don't hunt anymore. They have a sonar for veins that locates them. They've used it a few times on me. However, yesterday they didn't even need that. It was a good day.

@JudyEv I hadn't either until I saw it for the first time. It's a gadget that fits easily in the palm of your hand. It's about the size and shape of an electric razor.

@just4him I hadn't heard of them using a sonar to find veins. Anything that works has to be good.

They up the speed at different intervals. However, when the nurse upped it, it beeped and wouldn't allow the faster rate, so it took an hour longer than normal for the medication to drip.

Oh I so dislike it when appointments run long. (unless it was guitar lesson or massage back in the days when I used to do that) As long as the outcome was good though :-)

Yes, the outcome was good. I'm hoping I got a book sale out of it when I talked to one nurse who sounded interested and I gave her my business card.

That's good that it only took the first poke instead of two or three, but sorry to hear the drip had issues! It's good that it is over though! My day is okay, minus coughing constantly.

I have had issues getting blood drawn too, but generally just at one place. I just don't think they really knew what they were doing. I was having an R and R day today. as we had a very long drive yesterday. I wanted to relax and decompress. I just went to the store and that was it. It was gorgeous today and I had the window open all day.
