18 vials of blood at the lab, 18 vials of blood....

Take one down, pass it around....


Before my insurance runs out this year, I thought it would be a good idea to have all the testing done, I could. My doc recommended tests for clotting disorders, genetic disorders (for both me and Chris), and autoimmune disorders. What that meant for me was this (yes, they all were filled):

The good news is, I didn't pass out! I got the results back today for everything- except the genetic testing (also called karyotyping) which can take 4-6 weeks. Everything checked out okay. Of course, I have mixed feelings about this news. On one hand, I'm glad I'm okay and on the other this still leaves us in the dark. I'm to the point where I'd almost want something to be wrong so it could just be treated.

In other news, I've been doing more lately to try and improve my mental health. I've been crafting more with my friend Lindsey and have been trying to do some relaxing exercises. Hopefully, if I can get my mind right, my body will follow suit.
