I should be in my car looking at the clock waiting to go to Bio. Instead I’m at home. Feeling like crap.
Blood draw went bad. I was so badly dehydrated they couldn’t get my veins to the surface. Got poked and prodded a lot. Finally another nurse came in, and massaged lots of veins until settling on a "bouncy" one in my forearm. All was well until she went to change veils, and then she moved the needle in my arm. Fuck ow. My whole right arm from my inner elbow to wrist is in pain. Feel like I have a fever.
I got home, later than I wanted, they look an hour to draw two vials of blood, and I had 15 minutes to try to eat and snap out of feeling shitty. Didn’t happen. Ending up throwing up and nearly passing out. So I slept for like 4 hours. Even now I’m not feeling well.

I guess I need to drink a lot more water. But, I drink a lot of water is the thing. I didn’t think I would be dehydrated when I drink more water than is the recommended. I dunno, maybe my liver is bad, and that’s causing dehydration? I don’t know.

Oh, and the first nurse, the cute one, said when she did get the first needle stick in and I had a bit of blood going, that it was the worst flow she’s ever seen. She was in the vein, obviously, but it wouldn’t flow out but a trickle.

I’m just special.
