When Life Hands You Lemons - Make Lemonade

Or, when your veins don't cooperate, improvise. I called in the medication call a little late, but it still arrived on time. However, it's the only thing that went right at the hospital this morning. My veins didn't cooperate. I jokingly said the cold put them in hiding. The nurse agreed with me. She said the cold weather can make the veins go deeper. There was also a problem with the one site they got to work. It stopped working and it felt like I had a very tight band around my arm. They quickly located a new site. Well, as quickly as they could with my uncooperative veins. They also needed to draw labs. So, I had three pokes, well four as the first poke didn't work at all. Now, add to that the fact I'm on a blood thinner and wore a white sweater. My appointment was for 8:30. I didn't get done until 10. I messaged my friend that I wouldn't be at Bible study this morning. I would have been half an hour late. That doesn't work for me. So, I came home via Walgreens. I needed to take care of a medication situation with the pharmacy. I don't need it until next month. When I got home and looked at my sweater, I got the hydrogen peroxide out of the medicine cabinet and got the blood out of my sweater. It's in the wash basket. So, a change of shirts and I'm ready to get on with the rest of my day. Sometimes you just need to improvise. It keeps life interesting. So, I'm home, no bananas. But I do have Christmas cards from Walgreens and stamps. So, I'll have those in the mail in a couple of days. Have your plans caused changes in your day lately? Thanks for reading.
