I'm not supposed to drink more that 2 quarts of liquid per day. Plus, my blood test is for finding out how well my blood thinner is working so if I drank a lot of water it might show as too thin which would mean thet'd cut down on my medication. That would be very dangerous for me as I have a metal heart valve and if my blood is too thick then there's a possibility of a clot forming on the valve which would cause it to stop working. I don't want to die that way.
I do the same thing! Fantastic! Besides, if you let them choose, they'll go for the arm they like better and the stick might not even hurt, so bonuses all around! I bump up my odds before going in by drinking lots of water, too. You do the same?
That is a relief. I see my doctor again in Nov, and have no blood work to do before then, which feels odd, but considering she put me on a new med in Sept. and it takes a while to take effect I expect I'll have a sheet-load () of lab work to get done early next year. It might sound odd to folks reading our messages back and forth, but honestly, I like getting my blood drawn now--I have a really good phlebotomist though! Here's hoping your results are good!
I hope all went well with the doctor, WhyYou. I saw mine about 3 weeks ago. Keep on keepin' on! Oh, and I was here (again) the last time we hit a new record--twice in 1 day for me--boffo!
Its a red-letter day, WhyYou. Not only is the site live, but I was even here when we hit a new record 10 minutes or so ago. Wow. Neat plus cool equals wicked! Anyway, have a great day! Cheers
Wow, the member list has gotten long, huh? Last time I checked it was just one page. Anyway, here's to you, WhyYou, for taking on this project with Danielle, Rob & laranger. Good luck to you keeping track of everything!
