I know this can change each month, but it was really OK.

It was so much easier than I thought.

I recommend the following:
1-bring a book, MP3 player, magazines, water
2-request pediatric needles if you have narrow, rollin' veins like me
3-drink more water and eat before the appt (now I know)

Thanks, guys!
