It wasn't so bad
I completed my marathon fasting/bloodwork regime yesterday at 10:45. The 'three-hour' part only starts after they've established your blood sugar isn't so crazy high even after fasting. As the nurse so aptly put it, "We're not going to give you all that sugar if you already have a high level." Right... makes sense.
I must say, I have never gotten so much work done in a three-hour period of time. Laptop in tow, I sat in the waiting room, listing to smooooooth jazz. Initially I was a little concerned that I was going to go OUT OF MY MIND listening to more than three hours of it, but I eventually found myself tapping my foot. That's called adapting, my friends!
When I came out of the hosptial, John and my Mom were there to pick me up. In all of my excitement to see my Mom, I made myself completely lightheaded and almost fainted in the car. We went out to eat!!! at a place that serves you a basket of popcorn while you look at the menu. I ate almost two baskets. I think I scared John.
Now I'm back, in my humble abode, in my comfy pants, until next Thursday. I love Thursdays...no matter what they bring.

As for the fasting and the three hour wait, good, glad that is over for you! I am sure it will be fine. As for the Jazz, someone would have had to die had it been me waiting...Happy Holidays!
