Blood tests are getting easier

As part of the very thorough medical clearance, I need a lot of tests done. Yesterday two vials of my blood were drawn, and this morning I had to go back and lose another vial.

I have a history of breaking out in a cold sweat around needles, but this time I was able to get through it without any problems.

Even though the experience wasn’t traumatic, it wasn’t any fun getting stuck with a needle on my birthday. After it was over, I treated myself to a doughnut.
