update on glucose resistance test
well, nothing jumped out at them right away, so it was relatively smooth sailing, despite the fact that my veins like to disappear and roll on the nurses. so i feel like a pincushion, because they stuck me in 3 different places. one of those places was the inside of my right wrist, on the theory that it might get more blood, but no dice, and a big bruise that probably won't let me do much embroidery this weekend.
the glucose drink wasn't as bad as i thought it might be - it tasted like extra-sweet kool-aid. i wouldn't want to drink it again, ever, but it was pretty easy to drink. i didn't feel like throwing up until almost time to go home, and i think it was more that one of my medications has a tendency to make me feel a little nauseated, especially if i don't eat carbs with it. obviously, no carbs today!
i never really woke up this morning, so after the 3.5hr-long appt, i came right home and ate a gingersnap cookie (helps with the nausea), and some potato salad for lunch and then went to sleep for 3 hrs...
to sum up: probably, i'm ok, although i'm continuing to lose weight targeted at 1llb/wk. i won't know the numbers and exactly what it means until i get the call from the doctor, though.
