a farmer's wife and her real life

so.

remember this?

well i'm finally getting around to doing the blood tests that my doctor wants because i finally have insurance.

getting insurance after a lovely episode like that - not easy.

that however is another post in and of itself.

so i call my doctor's office to find out how much it's going to cost me because i still have a deductible to meet.  the billing office wanted more specific information so they could give me a better idea on how much it would cost.

the nurse just called me back to tell me which tests they want to run.

i was prepared for a couple tests.

nope.

not 2.

not 5.

not 10.

1-1.

yes, eleven.

i'm not quite sure how much blood they need to take to do the tests.

at this point, i'm a little scared.

my max on how many vials they've taken at one time was i think 8.

anyone want to volunteer to do this for me?

oh, and pay to meet the deductible?  i just called and those tests are ex.pen.sive!
