POOT DEE LAHM IN DEE COCONUT...


I SAID, "DOCTAH..."

He prodded, poked, pushed and pondered.

"Hmmmm...", said he.
"Take this lab referral to the hospital."


So, off I went...
To the establishment where my children were born.

I found myself in the lab - with Dracula hovering.
Apparently, I have lovely veins...
Did you know that Dracula is female?

She drew four - I said FOUR! - vile viles of blood from my arm.

When all was said and done, no one offered me a cookie or a glass of juice.

Don't they do that any more for people who donate blood...?

  1. No they don't,Dale.Not even a
    damn lolipop!! LOL!

    So you're kinky huh?Er...I mean
    you like the Kinks right? :O)

    The greatest single concert I have
    ever seen second to The Who 82 Orlando and West Palm Beach 2000
    FL was when I saw the Kinks from
    the front row in 1985 at the now
    defunct Sunrise Musical Theatre.
    I have a Kinks concert or two
    on DVD from 1972 and 1981 if you
    want to get really acqainted to
    their live act.If you are interested then shoot me a shipping
    address at lowgens02@aol.com

  2. Huh. Well I am glad that you went because you have been sick for too long. Did he give you a clue as to what could be wrong? 4 viles is a LOT! I remeber having some blood work done and they gave me pop and a cookie. When will you get the results? Did you drive home yourself? You must have felt woozy after that. Thank you so much fo rthe update. I felt like your mom suggesting you see a doctor!

  3. Hi Dale,
    I have two lovely coffee mugs from Dracula's castle, courtesy of my brother who trekked across Romania last August for 2 weeks. I think they would have made a lovely parting gift. :)

    Cheers,
    AM

  4. LOL! No, I think you only get the cookie if you're giving blood when not sick...which is ironic, when you think about it. Wouldn't a cookie and juice make a sick person feel better??

    Poor you! I hope they find what's making you feel so awful. I absolutely hate getting blood taken - I watch it, thinking, ewww, it's not supposed to be outside my body. Give it back, it's mine! :) I guess I woudn't make a good paramedic or nurse!

  5. Glad to see we can leave comments again!

    Our blood bank gives cookies, drinks and either t-shirt or hat! Did you ask them at the hospital if you could donate a little extra to qualify for the free gift?

    Hope that they at least find out what was wrong - but mostly that you feel better soon!
