Blood draw and pee into a bottle

 I do not know it's gotten into me lately but I'm waking up at like 3:00 a.m. and not really going back to sleep. This happened this morning again but here it is the end of the day and I'm still feeling really well. I'm a little groggy but I could keep up a conversation do something with the group but just hang out with an individual for a small one intimate discussion on just about anything. I guess I should have asked the doc about this one I saw him this afternoon. The appointment was a 6 month follow-up. Have not been experiencing any pain or difficulties so I wasn't really too concerned except for it was taken what I thought was a lot of time. It's a beautiful day for traveling so I was pleased because travel weather was perfect. I don't even know how it phrase the question about is there something wrong with me because I'm waking up at 3:00 a.m. I didn't think to ask him but we did get into some good conversation about my health practice. I seem to be doing everything fairly well except for I'm a bit diabetic- - I don't think this is really news I think I've written about this before being near diabetic. The doctor said he thought I was okay but he wanted to do further tests just to make sure. To make sure that I was okay. This will require or did require some blood being drawn out which was an extensive piece of work. Usually my blood pops out really easily but not today she poked and poked and finally gave up on that particular piece of equipment. We then went through some Hocus Pocus stuff and finally got enough Vayner artery to expose itself. This vein search was a bit new for me had me a bit concerned but the blood taker seem to take it all in stride. I've always been complimented on my veins in the east from which I let them take blood. Then I was handed a small bottle told me to fill it up with pee. This was a real challenge and again usually it's never been a problem but I actually dropped the bottle in the process that had to get a new one. I never did get a whole lot of pee in The Vessel got a lot on me but I just had a little bit in the bottom of the bottle. Because my medical appointment was in the middle of the afternoon I really hadn't hydrated today like I should have and so what liquid I did get into the bottle was fairly concentrated and I'm sure that I'm going to hear back on that. On the upside I was instructed that I no longer had to take my iron pills. My blood iron was just okay almost great. That made me feel a lot better. The first name of my doc is Boomer I love that for some reason I'm sure his parents are hippies. He's the third year resident has one more year to go before he can do whatever residents do to become doctors. I've had him for the last 2 years it seems like I kind of like him I'm going to miss him when he moves on. The resident did give me some good news as far as he feels my diabetes is not as big a deal as they've been trained to make it. I am however scheduled to take a appointment with an optometrist or eye doctor of some sort. One more medical visit for me to endure. I am feeling good that I don't have to worry about the diabetes as much as I really have been. I suppose you could tell that my medical appointment was the biggest thing in my agenda today. I should have followed my clothes but I can do that tomorrow …
