Dr visit results:
I got a Tetnus shot, because I don't remember having one for a VERY long time, and you are suppose to have them every 10 yrs. and they took some of my blood.
I also had the yearly business done since I was already there. I have an ob/gyn, but I think I'm going to start going to this lady for everything, I really liked her. I'll letcha know when the blood work comes back, but she said no biggie on the low BP, that women normally have lower BP anyway, and since my dad has it, it is familial, too. If I get dizzy or weak or lightheaded (even once) and it is unexplained, I should check back in. They are testing my cholesterol, white count, liver/kidney, iron, and thyroid. I think that's all.

oh, and since I have the low BP, I said, well, I'm a salt lover, so I guess that's a good thing. And she said, "yes, you are one of the few who does not have to worry about salt intake! yay!!

so, I guess the bottom line is that my arm is a little bit sore, and I am missing a small tube's worth of blood, but I'm going to live, pending bloodwork results.

I still haven't gotten my lab results back! I'm going to the doctor tomorrow for a followup on something else so maybe I can ask her about it? I didn't think it would take this long...

I ended up having to call mine. what is with them? Don't they know we are on the edge of our seats?!?!?
