Mary,

Glad the tests are over! I too know exactly what you have to go through - - - hoping and praying the vein hangs in!! And it's never a comfort when the tech looks like they'd give real $$ if only they could find a (good) vein!! That's when you ask to go to pediatrics. The techs in peds can hit painlessly on the first try (and are greatful that you don't scream and squirm like most of their patients!).

Hope your tests give you answers you are looking for. It's the not knowing and waiting that is always tough.

Know that in the meantime, thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sue
