Well, my needle-phobic daughter finally had her blood test done today. But it was just Lipids, I don't know if that does TSH also? Maybe not. Sigh.
She said that NO WAY was she having blood drawn. I told her that she was and this is vacation week - what a great time to do it. She waited until the last day, of course. I had offered to find the most experienced Plebotomist and she wanted me to do that.
I called the lab place and asked who was the best phlebotomist to go to if you are phobic. They gave me the name of a woman, and which office she was in. She was WONDERFUL. I swear she had the needle in my daughter's arm and my daughter didn't even know it. It's worth finding the good ones if you have small veins and don't like needles! And the lab was really nice about giving me her name.
So that's a bit of progress. She went from NO WAY to Gee, that was a lot better than the last time...
