3 needle sticks + 10 vials of blood = unhappy

I went to the lab this morning for a million tests that my RE ordered. The big one was the 2 hour glucose tolerance test. That test alone requires 3 needle sticks (baseline fasting, 1 hour, and 2 hour). In addition, I had to have blood drawn for PCOS testing, infertility testing, infectious disease, CBC, cystic fibrosis screen, and a few others that I can't remember. The initial stick was for 10 tubes of blood. Seriously, 10 freaking tubes is a lot of blood! For some reason I am craving raw meat right now ;)

I look like a junkie right now. When you factor in how totally out of it I feel, I am probably acting like a junkie too.
