My doctor ruined my day.

Bastards. I went to the doctor today, and my blood iron levels are low, so I have to start taking an iron supplement on top of my regular vitamins, and I've gained 5 lbs in 2 weeks. Damn. Also, the glucose test that I had to take that I couldn't eat for 8 hours for, and left big bruises inside both my elbows from getting blood drawn, I failed, so I have to go for a 3-hour test now. Because I failed the first one, I have to not eat for 8 1/2 hours, then go get blood drawn, then drink some nasty sugar stuff, then get more blood drawn, then drink more nasty sugar stuff, then get *even more* blood drawn, then wait a long time, and get *MORE* blood drawn. They're taking twice as much blood this time, and I have to not eat for 2 extra hours from last time. If I fail this one, it means I have gestational diabetes, and I have to be on a special diet and check my blood sugar and stuff.
On the whole, all bad news.
So, I've been drowning my fears in low-fat, low-sugar fudge pops. Yuck. 5 more lbs, here I come.
