I'm doing well today. I had planned on doing some Christmas shopping but I think I'll save that for tomorrow. I want to get people $50 gift cards but my mom says I shouldn't be feeling pressured and that people know I'm not working and I have a lot of medical bills. I heard a loud thump coming from the trunk of the car and I asked my mom what the noise was. She said "stuff." And I said "what stuff?" And she said "I dont know maybe for you? Didnt your mother ever tell you not to be nosy during Christmas?" Based on the sound of the thumps and what I've been looking into I assume they are weights. But I hope she doesnt go overboard for me this year, she already got me a couple things and basically all I really wanted this year was a red zip up Fruit Of The Loom hoodie.

I went for my bloodwork this morning. I checked in and I waited about 5 minutes. The room was kinda crowded. Then the lab lady calls my very feminine deadname very loudly. I jumped up and I told her the name I go by now and she just said "oh. Sorry. I just go by the name they give me" this place is usually pretty good about using my correct name. The bloodwork itself wasnt a big deal but she had to move the needle around a bit to get the blood started. When she was done I hurried up and got my mom and pulled my hat down so the people still sitting there wouldnt see my facial hair.

So I'll see what the bloodwork results are they usuaully get them pretty fast, and then I see my doctor on Friday. So hopefully the hemoglobin and whatever that other level was went down after I went down on my dose. I know I don't have the severe anxiety or mood swings or anger that I had when my dose was too high.

It looks like I'll just owe $240 for my hystrectomy. The original cost was $31 thousand.
