November 9, 2013 – Waiting on Labwork

Tick, tick, tick, tick…..the clock ticks on as I’m waiting. I’m trying not to worry until I have something to worry about. I had 6 vials of blood taken from my arm this past Wednesday afternoon at the rheumatologist. I have a list of what all the lab was checking. It will be Monday before I hear anything result wise. It doesn’t help as I have waited the last couple of days my left hand has been having tremors throughout the days and my wrists are aching. The tremors make me a nervous wreck after a while. I may have nothing to worry about result wise and if that is true then I’m thankful. I’ll move on to the next doctor that can help. IF the results show something very off, I have all kinds of concerns. I’m a little scared of the what ifs. I don’t dare go into all my crazy worries here because I will have a long cry trying to put my thoughts into words. I don’t want to cry yet. I don’t want to cry unless I have a reason too.
