Self-pity

[belladonnatook]

I know, on the whole, I ought to be very grateful. I live in a country where healthcare is free at the point of access. Everything is being taken care of very quickly and all the nurses and doctors have been very kind and reassuring. However, I am filled with hormones and not disposed to think rationally, so I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself. I have to get another blood test (third since Tuesday) and my arm is killing. I've also had to have a B12 injection and a flu jab (one in one arm, one in the other). I now feel a bit like a human pin cushion and am considering going to bed at 7pm.

EDIT: Just checked and my maternal antibody screen (Wednesday's blood test) came back normal, so that's something :-)
