And I'll chime in on that too! I have the collapsing vein problem as well - the IV's for surgeries are really fun - takes at least 2 tries to get me started, and I come out with at least 4 more bandaids and the IV in a different location every time!

Hopefully, your 17 tests will be like mine full sheet was - they only had to use 4 or 5 different tubes to collect the blood in.

Honey, I sure hope everything goes well for you. You must be very frightened with the muscle wasting. I know that absolutely scared the beans out of me! You will be very much in my thoughts. Thoughts of either a good outcome or another miracle!

Love to you!
