I woke up to the alarm at seven thirty. I was going to have a shower first but Alex woke up. He’s not feeling very well today. Alex asked to have fruit cup for breakfast. I had my shower while Alex watched tv.
I took Alex to Nora’s while I went for the blood test. The blood test is to take three hours so I didn’t want to take Alex with me. Nora said she was taking William to the doctor at 12:15 p.m. so they probably wouldn’t be back when I got home.
I went to the lab at Leigh Square. I had to give a urine sample then they took blood. They had trouble getting it out of my left arm. The nurse said they would have to try the other arm. I said I don’t know if you’ll want to . The nurse said why not then I showed her my arm. The nurse said when did that happen. I said last week when I was in having blood work. The nurse said that’s horrible that shouldn’t have happened. Then I had to drink a bottle of glucose water which taste pretty bad. Then after that it was every hour for three hours. I should have had only four pokes but since they had trouble I had seven pokes.
I did feel quite hungry in the beginning but after awhile I felt okay, just a little shaky.
I got home just after one o’clock. I went to get Alex but they weren’t back yet. When they did come back Nora phoned and I told her to send Alex home. Alex said when he got home that Kurt’s mom was going to take William to the hospital. Alex said that there was something wrong with Williams leg.
I felt quite badly that Nora had to take all of them into the doctors office. If I had known I would have told her to bring Alex to the lab for the last hour.
I had a large lunch since I hadn’t had breakfast this morning. I found not having any food for such a long period made me feel tired and just not right.
The rest of the afternoon we watched tv. Charlie didn’t get home until six o’clock. I was feeling too tired to do any cooking. We went to Pizza hut for dinner then we went to Safeway and came home.
Alex had his snack and got ready for bed at nine o’clock.
I watched tv until ten o’clock and went to bed.
