Giving your blood up for analyses is like being naked, only more so. The doctor asked me,
"Do you spend a lot of time sitting?"
"No," I said. You try not to be offended by their questions. At least she didn't ask me if I'd eaten human flesh.
Some part of me thinks she will now discover that I am different. What kind of weird disease will I turn out to have? It's all there, in the blood.
Does your big toe hurt? That's gout.
ReplyDeleteMy doc takes my blood twice a year. I'm not so worried about it now.
Little toes hurt. Not big toe.
ReplyDeleteTwice a year? Wow. I think they took mine once when I was pregnant. That's it.
I don't spend a lot of time sitting, but my ass does.
ReplyDeleteSitting runs in my jeans, apparently!
