Nothing but a statistics
Yes that is what I have turned into now. Per the CDC I will be about 1 of 4000 people this year. Is this my 15 minutes of fame? What a fun year this has been and will continue to be. I cannot tell you how much I have enjoyed my visits to the lab having blood drawn. I am up to 16 tubes and counting. 
Both arms have been used for blood work and of course lets not forget the IV. Its also interesting to watch other peoples reaction to this as well. At work people have disinfected my office and wiped down door knobs. Conference rooms seem to be filling up more across from me or rather away from me. Just interesting to watch people around me and their reaction.
Well my doctor the infectiologist has said it will take about 6 months to get back to what will be my normal. Absolutely no medication without his pre-approval (even a simple aspirin). I am still tired in the evenings when I get home but its getting better. I actually woke up on my own around 7:00 this morning vs sleeping in until nearly 10:00.
It is what it is! We always make adjustments throughout our lives due to our surroundings whether we notice or not. Just another adjustment.

no mention of a certain spouse and her own visit to the lab where in they took TWELVE tubes @ ONE time? Go Doug!

Not taking anything from my spouse BUT I am the one who is not good with needles. You see there was this time (a very very long time ago) where my spouse had to be called because I was dizzy after having blood drawn. I am much better now but still have problems with someone poking holes in my arm and sucking out my precious blood.
