I had my 3rd phelebotomy procedure 1.5 hours ago and I already feel a lot better. I guess my sister texted my mom at 8 last night and asked if she could drop my nephews off while she and my brother in law were at the doctors having an ultrasound. My mom said yeah ok. They go to the same gynecolgocist office I went to and my blood doctors office is there as well. So we had all planned on meeting there so they could pick up my nephews if my sisters appointment wasn't over before mine started. Hers was at 8:30 mine was at 10. Then I got a call around 8:45 asking if I could switch the procedure to a different building and a different time. I have therapy today and after some talking I got it moved to 10:30 at the other office. I like this other office a lot better anyways. My brother in law ended up picking up my nephews at my house about 10 minutes before we had to leave which was good. So I had the procedure. It took a lot longer for some reason even though she got a vein right away. There were 2 older people in there getting treatments of some kind. I was getting a bit woozy but I made it. On my way out I noticed what appeared to be another trans man who was maybe 19-22 years old waiting by himself. I wonder if he has high hematricrit too. I came home and I drank a Coke and I feel pretty good. I'm still a bit woozy, but I can make my in person therapy appointment later this afternoon. I decided to see my pdoc in person tommorow. Its gonna be a hell of a lot of gas money and he has not seen me since October 2020 but I am ready to see him in person. I just hope he doesn't screw with my meds since I don't think the stuff I'm dealing with needs to involve him.
