I don't have diabetes! In fact all of my blood work was in the normal range! Few... I am SO relieved, and I totally did a little dance when I found out. ^^
My thumb hurts though. I swear I have the worst veins ever. The lab took one look at my arms and said nope, they didn't even TRY to get blood out of me and had to call up the narcosis team (the people who put people to sleep for surgeries and stuff) and she ended up having to take it from my thumb!
In case you were wondering, getting blood drawn from your thumb sucks! I really would not recommend it. I would however, recommend that you take better care of your body so you don't have a scare like I've had!

nerves of jello

I am fasting for some medical tests in the morning and fuck am I nervous. Chances are that things will come back in the normal range and I can carry on like normal. Or I could have diabetes. And that scares the hell out of me. Today I've been knitting, and knitting, and knitting to try and keep my brain from exploding. I honestly feel like I could vomit I'm so concerned, but whatever the outcome of tomorrow is, we'll work it out. Hell, I learned how to live gluten free when I didn't even know what gluten WAS when i found out I couldn't tolerate it. With the help of my Viking and my family it will be ok, but the idea of:
Lactose intolerant
Gluten intolerant
Mentally ill
Fibromyalgia
AND Diabetes
just doesn't seem fair. Oh well, like my mother always says:

"You've got to play the hand you're dealt"

Alright world, lets play...
