Well, about a week and a half ago I had my 27 week glucose test. The appointment was at 1:15pm and I got there around 10 after 1. The test itself takes about an hour to do. I checked in at the front desk and then I waited in the waiting room for them to call me until 1:40. When they called me, all they did was gave me the sweet(orange soda) drink that we have to drink, started the timer and weighed me. Then, they sent me back out to the waiting room for an hour. The timer finally went off at 2:42 or something and they called me back. I was so uncomfortable from sitting there for so long in those hard chairs. Plus, I was thinking, "if they were only handing me a drink, why did I have to wait for 30 min. to get it?!" Anyway, it was over and I had to go back and get some blood drawn. I did that, they told me I could leave so I checked out, got in the car and headed home. I still had one other stop to make on the way home, to get dog food and I was so tired from being at the Dr. for 1 and a half hours, but at least I was on my way... so I thought. I got about 2 miles away and I got a call on my cell phone. They told me that they forgot I had to get my Rogam shot(it's if the mother has negative blood type so the mother's body doesn't reject the baby's or something like that). So, I had to turn around and go back to the Dr.'s office. Not only was I not excited that I had to go back to the Dr. but I did not want to get a shot. It has been so long since I had had a shot that I forgot what they feel like. I get there and they thankfully take me right back and the nurse tells me to face the bed in the room and turn my feet in slightly. I look at her and say "where are we doin this thing at?!!" I assumed it was in the arm but no, it was definitely in the butt. Not fun. I even flinched cause I forgot that shots hurt worse than getting your blood taken. Then, after that was over, as if that wasn't enough, I had to go back out and get my blood drawn again in the other arm! I don't know why they didn't just take two vials the first time around but now I had three places on my body that hurt and were bleeding slightly. I was finally done and headed to the pet store to get food and just glad that the whole ordeal was over.
Luckily, the test turned out great and I did not have to come back to do an additional glucose test. That's what I was really dreading cause then I would have had to spend 4 hours in the Dr.'s office and I just don't have time for that.
