For today, spread

[bodybuilder1958]

For today, spread a little happiness. Go out of your way to spread a little happiness. It could be a smile, a hug, doing something sweet that is unexpected. But spread that happiness around, someone really needs it.

Take care,
BB

This one will be hard for me today....i had a really rough week due to several issues and got up on the wrong side of the bed today since I haven't been sleeping well.....I don't even feel like spreading happiness to me.....so I guess this is the day for me to push and give to someone to make them smile or happy.....I'm on it BB.....will do my best

[jayne]

its my 3 month med check and blood work I will try not to snap at the vampires as long as they get me on the first stick.....

[capricorn]

Jayne...I have the same problem....I have put my foot down and will not let anyone draw anywhere but one veing in my right hand and with a pediatric needle....they get blood the first and lots of it....most don't like it and think they know more than I do about my body but I have learned to tell them different.

[Tuffy]

I prefer to have the blood drawn from my arm, it is much easier, But because my veins collapse or blow easy, It's better they use a hand vein and a butterfly needle.. It all depends on how many tubes they need.

Jayne I will go for you if that would halp spread a little happiness.

[jayne]

Tuffy I would enjoy that alot....they normally listen to me cuz I tell one stick and thats it.....I let them know they rock and roll and play hide and seek.....they normally put a warm blanket on my arm,use a butterfly needle and give me a pretty bandage....she got it first time.....Why do Docs all think they are THE BIG DUDE.....I told him depression is back my joints hurt and am very unstable on my feet.....he said what do you expect Your Daddy just died,your getting old,and I told you to use a wheelchair 6 months ago.....bah humbug....I know why I am depressed I wanna go camping and its to cold....I know why my joints hurt its to cold....and I wont go into that wheelchair till I have no other choice so he justs laughs at me....orders bloodwork renews my meds asks me again if I am selling my pain meds to the gypsies..I say no and he says see you in 3 months.......So Tuffy lets do lunch

Ah....jayne... I am so sorry to hear of his response to your concerns... is there anything I can do .... I don't care for blook work anymore either and right now I go in weekly to have my thyroid tested and my Vit D.... My thyroid is acting up again, and my Vit D doesn't want to move off of a 6 despite the mega doses I am taking... to increase it..they want it to at least 60... they have been working on this for about 2 years now...so my opinion is just give up..not going to happen and stop poking me all the time. Since I had Chemo therapy for the MS for 2 years through 2002 and 2003 and yes I worked through the whole two years... my blood veins are shot...they ahve to go to my hand with a butter fly...and somtimes they have to stick me more than once ..usually at least twice because of the number of containers they are filling up... this weely is easy however it is just two different colored tops... good luck to you...

sparkey hopefully there is a box in the mail for you.... finally. love Red

[jayne]

Red I am sorry if I gave the wrong impression....I love my Doctor.....he knows me and my stubborn fanny well....I will go into the chair when I have to and not a minute before.....

Since we're a bit off subject I'll throw in my two cents worth. I haven't done this in quite awhile, almost made an LPN faint once. When I'm really sick I tell the staff one stick, that's all you'll get, blow it and I draw my own blood. So..., the first time this happened while my doctor watched I drew my blood on my left ankle. I've successfully done this probably about 12 times. I am not a hard stick, lift weights, my veins pop out. One chance, that's all you get, you've been warned
