Hello AJ. . Take Care. paul m

[AJ]

Thanks Paul. Here's hoping Mondays blood test shows higher numbers.

Hello AJ . How did the blood test go today?

[AJ]

Crappy. It dropped again. My hands look like pin cushions. The tech said I had a lot of scar tissue. No kidding! I'm self conscious about all the holes and bruises on my hands. Last thing I should be worried about I know. I have to go again on Wednesday. Honestly I don't know how they're going to get any blood out of me. Probably start sticking the needles in the holes I already have.

Hello AJ. That sounds so hard, with all the needles and everything. I wish there was more I could say or do to help .

Hi AJ,

That sounds very difficult and I'm sure it must be very draining. I hope it changes for you very quickly. You deserve a break.

I have a scar also AJ and I do not like it at all and like you I am very self conscious about it, so don't feel bad that you worry about it. I hope after Wednesday you get a break from all the needles you have to get, let us know how you make out...I'm thinking of you

[Lizzy]

Sorry to hear of the excess needles. It sounds kinda brutal.

[A.E.V.]

thinking about you AJ... hope it goes better on wednesday!

[AJ]

My numbers have gone up a bit but I still flunked. My P.doc phoned me herself and told me I could wait until Tuesday for another test as long as I promised to go to ER if I get sick. Sigh.

[Re-O]

I'm sorry to hear it is still a problem. I don't often do this but...

I hope it starts to get better for you

[AJ]

Thanks Re-O

as long as I promised to go to ER if I get sick.

Hello AJ. My weird sense of the life causes me to ask the question. IF you get sick? Does that mean the doc thinks that you are well? Sorry I couldn't resist.

Just kidding of course. I know what you really mean. It must really tough trying to balance everything. I hope that you do better on your next test. . Take Care. paul m
