Last night Michelle, Eric, and I met up at Suzi’s China Grill for dinner. We gave Eric his Christmas presents and he loved them. I have to give credit to Michelle for helping me pick mine out, she found it and then left me buy it for him.
After dinner we went to bowling and Jorge met up with us there. He just wanted to hang out and watch. Michelle and Eric bowled awesome, and Michelle bowled her highest game ever. I bowled ok, only above my average once. We still won the match and two of the games, so that’s all that really matters.
This morning I went to work late (10) because I had to go get some blood work and x-rays done. The blood work was for general checkup type stuff and the x-ray was for my bum knee. You have to fast for 12 hours before you go in, and I can’t go all day without eating, so I went there first. It was CRAZY cold in the office. As I was sitting in the waiting room I looked over the forms to see what tests my Dr ordered. I notice the box for “Urinalysis” was checked. DAMN!
I had just woke up 30 minutes prior, and you know the first thing I did was pee. So you know that ain’t happening again for a while. CURSES!
When they called me in to get the blood drawn it was in this small room and the nurse kept speaking to me in Spanglish. Do I look Latino? No. I just hoped she wasn’t saying anything too important because I was only catching about 75% of what she was saying. The room had two nurses in it and one was drawing my blood and the other was drawing someone else’s, who happened to be sitting facing me. Do I really want to watch someone else get their blood drawn? Do I want them watching me? No.
After she drew the blood I drank 6 glasses of water so I could try and do my urinalysis. I sat in the waiting room and waited and waited, and then waited some more and NOTHING. I just couldn’t go. OMG and there were these handicap teenagers there getting tests and I heard on of the nurses continually yelling to the boys in the restroom, “DID YOU PEE YET?” They would angrily yell back, “NO!” It was hilarious.
Ok, so finally I gave up. That water was not going to pass through. I asked if I could leave and come back in a while. I told her that I was going to go get some x-rays done and come back. She actually let me take the cup with me! At first I was reluctant, cuz GROSS, but then I realized that I would probably get to the x-ray place and have to go really bad and end up having to do the pee pee dance until I could get back to the lab.
Sure enough… as soon as I got to the x-ray place I had to go. So, yeah… gross… After my x-ray I had to drive back to the lab with a cup of urine in my car. It was kind of funny to walk into the office holding that, drop it off, and then just leave. “Hi, here with the pee delivery. Enjoy. BYE!”
Hopefully I’ll have some good results from the Doctor soon. I really hope the knee doesn’t turn out to be a bone spur or something that’s going to require surgery. That would not be fun.
