This morning I needed to have a blood test so I duly fasted (well missing breakfast can't really be called fasting but I did it) and presented myself bright and early so as to miss the multitudes. As I was the first person on site I was whisked immediately into the blood drawing room (eek) and asked to sit while the nurse gathered the required needle, vials and pieces of paper. As she did so another nurse came in and told my nurse that she was obvioiusly confused as she had dated a piece of paper with a July date instead of today's date! July I thought, what the? How confused can the woman be? Should I be letting her take my blood? She just laughed and said she was totally out of her head this morning. This was so comforting for me as I sat there with veins plumped and ready to give blood. NOT. Totally out of her head!!! Really, wasn't this woman supposed to be calming me down and taking a perfect sample of my blood? I had been calm when I walked into the room, now I wasn't so sure. No time to race out the door though because she had reached out, grabbed my arm and stuck the needle in before I could query her.
Thankfully she was a good needle sticker and the job was done in no time at all. However, I was out of the room before she'd finished saying goodbye, I didn't want her having another out of head experience while I was around......
