Friday Haiku: Three-Hour Glucose Test

by Mrs. Chicken on May 16, 2008

I am so hungry

No food for me this morning

Now they take my blood

***

To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:

1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.

2. Sign the Mister Linky below or at Jennifer’s blog with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). DON’T sign unless you have a haiku this week. If you need help with this, contact Jennifer or myself.

3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button at the top.

REMEMBER: Do not post your link unless you have a haiku this week! We will delete any links without haiku!

Hope the office is
Not backed up this morning
And you eat nice lunch

No food for me, either! What a coincidence!

My husband is at work, leaving me alone at the hospital with the baby, who won’t go to sleep so I can sneak down to the cafeteria. So it’s 11 a.m. and I still haven’t eaten a thing. But at least there won’t be any blood taken. For me, anyway. Though the baby is getting a test via a catheter this afternoon, which has got to rate up there with bloodwork in terms of discomfort. Sigh. Anyhoo, I hope your test comes out negative for GD so that’s one less thing you need to worry about. Good luck!

Good luck! I hated that test. I came out of there feeling like a drug addict, with both of my inner arms all bruised because the people drawing my blood were apparently idiots. I hope it goes better for you!

Is that the test where they make you drink that wretched fizzy drink after you haven’t eaten? I almost puked it back up when they jabbed the needle into my arm.

Not a nice thing to do to a pregnant women. Read on Twitter where you flunked, I am sorry.

Heather May 16, 2008 at 2:08 pm

I saw on Twitter that you failed, I failed mine during my pregnancy a few months ago. Gestational diabetes is the new black!

YUCK. 3 hour glucose tests are the worst!

Hope you got your bacon fat fix.

Oh, I hate that test. I hope it all goes well & your insulin is working a-ok.

The last time I had it, I actually drank so much water to get rid of that awful taste in my mouth I puked. Good times.

oh, damn. that sucks, mrs. c.

Oh the joy of public humiliation by way of poetry. It’s a bad idea in the third grade and it’s even worse now but what the hell?

Toni May 17, 2008 at 2:26 pm

Oh, I hate that test. Hope it comes out well! Happy Weekend!

Christina May 19, 2008 at 7:23 pm

I had to do that test once, and I hated it. And I’m not a big fan of syrupy sweet drinks, so trying to down that orange stuff was hard.

Hope you passed the test.
