suddenly today morphed from a blood draw to all the above





at first it was fine

but after an hour or two my attitude deteriorated 



    Originally I got a message that I had an appointment at the downtown SCCA for a blood draw and I called in to see if I could do that at the NW hospital and the person, Peter, said yeah he would look into that and get back to me on the online portal. Checking for such a message this morning I see the above series of activities planned for me this day. Good thing I checked. The last item with the unpronounceable chemical is the immunotherapy drug provided by Merck free of charge I guess cause they want to see how it works in random victims.
    Earlier I got a call from the UW Northwest hospital pharmacy saying they had a prescription for oxy with my name on it, so that was a bit of gravy on the unwanted surprise of the day as summarized by the screen shot at the top of the post.
    The above hand gesture is in no way a disparagement of staff or facility rather by the time I thought of taking a picture I was immobilized by the eye vee for the immunotherapy chemical and could only use my free left hand and took the first gesture that came to mind. The nurses were great as usual, and Ann,  the advanced registered nurse practitioner (aka doctor in all but name and salary), was fun and thorough. She could have passed for a very high achieving 13 year old; her feet didn't touch the floor as she sat at the computer.
