Ok! So on Friday June 22nd, 2012 I went in to get all of my pre op blood work done, when I get into the lab the lady calls me back to the room and I immediately tell her that my veins roll and asked if she was used to veins rolling and if not if she could please pass me off to someone that was used to it, she reassured me that she could do it well once she stuck me with the needle ofcourse my vein rolled and she was like okay honey im going to poke a little more and so she did ofcourse hurt like hell but I was thinking in the back of my head I pray that she just gets it will she did but my blood would go and then stop, most likely because it hurt like hell!!! She then proceeds to go to my other arm to see if she can get blood from it and ofcourse my veins are rolling so she says "I'm sorry I'll have to pass you to someone else and thank goodness she did because the minute I got with the other lady she got it instantly thank goodness for good nurses!!!

On another note I have been very emotional since I had my blood drawn probably because it is all hitting home that I am truely going to have my surgery on June 26th and there shouldnt be anymore roadblocks this time. I think I'm emotional because I am so excited to begin this new journey as I have all my family and friends who are supporting me in this yet at the same time I'm nervous and scared because I dont know what to expect I have been reading and writing in tons of websites such as OH, my facebook groups and just doing research on my own so I feel ready but I just dont know if you are ever ready enough to dump all the old habits and make sure that you succeed at the new ones! I got this and I will make sure that I work my tool!
