Hehe, my wife Lori has been freaking out the people at her Oncology clinic by bringing her digital camera along and taking photos of her cancer treatment experience, including close-ups of getting her blood drawn, having IV needles inserted etc…it’s all a part of documenting her ongoing treatment in all of it’s squeamish glory ; )

Anyways, she wrote a great post about it over on her blog too sexy for my hair…she writes:

Wednesday morning I was up early and at em’. I went in early for my blood work. Its best to go real early or real late, otherwise you can wait sometimes over an hour before they call you in for your draw. Its not the staff, its the lack of staff.

Anyways, I must have my blood drawn before I receive chemo. I can’t possibly count how many times I have been poked with the needle. Thats not even giving thought to the pokes I get in treatments and scans and etc, etc. I have become one with the needle.

You can check out the full post here, including a photo you may want to avoid if you have a weak stomach for needles. Feel free to drop her an encouraging word, too, or just a “hello.” She can always use a kind word.
