3 Hour Blood Test & 2 Hour Nap

So of course I failed my first glucose test last week and had to return for the fun & exciting 3 hour test. I was dreading this test not only because I would have to be stuck with a needle 4 times, but also because waiting rooms are not that much fun & spending 3 hours in one is not at the top of my fun things to do on the weekend list. However, the wonderful lady who drew my blood must have taken pity on me because while doing my one hour blood draw she mentioned she could find a spot for me to lay down and rest. I was all for it! So, she set me up in exam room (it's amazing how comfy those tables can be when your legs aren't in the stir-ups) and even covered me up with a surgical gown (she couldn't find a blanket). She then returned for the 2 hour blood draw with all her supplies so all I had to do was offer up a vein to be stuck and the same thing happened for the 3 hour blood draw. I would have to say this was the best lab/blood draw experience ever as I think I actually did fall asleep. And another bonus, the 3 hour test came back normal. :)
