8:30am woke up later then usually and couldn't eat any food. Just drank 1 lemon and 500ml warm water, and another 500ml water.
10:00am- we arrived at the pathology (blood test collection centre).
I tell the ladies I need a butterfly needle and im scared of the needles. I faint as well and only want a good person. They said you will be okay and the lady admitted me straight away.
- I wanted to lay down but she said its better to be sitting as blood flows better.
- She said she didn't have a butterfly needle, so got me a normal needle.
- She strapped my upper arm and told me to squeeze a ball.
- I only have one vein on my left arm which is good. No vein showing in my right arm.
- I smelled the alcohol and then just laid back on the chair waiting for the prick
- She pricked me and i staid still. Its discomfort but not too bad surprisingly. This Debbie lady was really good!
- Then after 2 vials it was over. Hubby said less than a minute.
- That's when I started to get white and daze out. I went all faint and was giving water, Also was told to lay down on my right side whilst the lady fanned me down. Then i sat up and got more water and then again i fell faint and laid down and fanned. The laying down and getting fanned really helped!
Then went to mums place to eat brekky :)

UPDATE- I booked in with the Dr on 2 May to see my results !!
