[reverie-starlight]

I need blood work done soon (probably next week) so if you see a drabble or mini fic based on something along those lines within the next few days… leave me be

[dogydayz]

got my blood drawn two weeks ago and just this last Thursday. Theyre tryna figure out what fucking issues i may have and i may have an iron deficiency. Anyway, so I hate needles and i hate having blood drawn, all the shit freaks me out and i have to have very specific accommodations and the ladies were so nice and patient with me, which I was thankful for.

one of the things i do to help me, these last two times i mean, has been to look away and hold my phone in the free hand and focus on a youtube video. Both goddamn times that I did this, that I had my bloodwork done, where I was fuckin terrified of just the thought and not even necessarily what was happening, I watched a very specific video that someway, somehow, perfectly took my mind off of the moment.

"Jerma Laughing at Vehicle Accidents Compilation [Part 1]"

Both times, as I sit there making weird autism stress noises, struggling to not move my arm or body while one lady holds my arm firmly and the other does the needle stuff, whimpering like a fucking dog.... All I hear in the background are the sounds of videogame violence, metal crunching and crashing into other metal and concrete, the sounds of explosions, all followed by crazed laughter and confused, vocal chaos.

I have nothing more to say, I just wanted to share this wonderful experience with everyone.

We love almost passing out getting blood work done🙃🙃

Hearing the words aloud made him flinch, though pride quickly welled in his chest. They were pregnant, at least, that's what the bloodwork had indicated at their last stop at the infertility doctor. They'd gone in with their stomachs in knots and had left with a new kind of nerves. "It's still early and you can't tell her I told you. She'll have both of our heads, but... I wanted you to know. You're like family, man. You get to be cool uncle times three," he assured as he wrapped his arms tightly around the other and lingered in a moment's hug before he pulled back and sucked in a deep breath. "I was always more into baseball," he countered with a roll of his hazel hues. If he kept going, he'd eventually work up the numbers for some kind of sports team. If he were being honest though, stopping at three was more than fine with him. "Look, I know. I can at least say that this one was planned." The two before had been accidents, but they were the best accidents he'd ever made in life. "Yeah, yeah. GIve it time. I'm sure you'll catch up."

The male's joke had him pushing off Jai's shoulder with a toothy grin. He was right. It had come as somewhat of a surprise to see how much Maggie favored the Franklin genes that were apparently much stronger than his own. Her blonde locks and light eyes were nothing like his own features. "Fuck off. I hope your kid get lucky and looks like her mama." He'd yet to see the newborn, but figured in time, he'd get his chance to play cool uncle. "Yeah, speaking of that kiddo, when do I get to meet her?" He knew a thing or two about coparenting, but he wasn't sure that his situations applied to anyone else. Still, it wouldn't be right if he didn't try and offer some level of comfort. "It's not easy, but you figure it out. If you the both of you agree that what matters most is Selvi's happiness, then you're golden."

He knew Dilan, not well, but enough to know that she seemed kind. Between Jaiden's good hearted nature and the other's kindness, they were bound to figure it out. As if on cue, his thoughts shifted wildly, brows raising. Zeyno, of course, was a menace to society. A menace that Jai had apparently fallen into. "How was that?" He treaded lightly, afraid of opening up the floodgates.

"You're shitting me!" Jaiden smacked his friend's shoulder with the back of his hand, lips parting in a surprised smile as he watched Atlas go on with his explanation. "Ken is pregnant?" All of that self-pity party he'd thrown himself a few minutes ago had quickly dissolved into happiness for his friend, because, even though there were four hundred other baby Williamses running around Providence Peak, at least this time, he seemed to be doing things the natural course society had planned? Or something like that? "Congratulations, man!" Jaiden pulled his brother-from-another-mother into a tight hug, almost shaking Atlas into showing more emotion, even if they were in the early stages of this pregnancy. Good news should be celebrated. "Are you aiming for a baseball or basketball team, though?" He teased, giving his friend a few extra seconds to figure out what he meant, before he continued. "Because you've got to learn how to wrap that shit up, Atlas! I mean, sure, you're going to be a great dad, and... who am I to talk right? But at least, I'm two babies behind you." And hopefully, he'd stay that way.

To say that Jaiden could understand where Atlas was coming from would be an understatement. There were countless of times which his thoughts had gotten the best of him, especially when he had a lot of time to spare, hence why he was often found at work. There was a reason why he'd risen to the top so fast. "I ran into Sage at the groceries the other day. Maggie looks nothing like you, thank God." He chuckled, nudging his friend with his shoulder, before leaning back against his couch. "I still don't know how you make this co-parenting thing work, but I really want to give it a try with Dilan and Selvi." I mean, he was willing to do it with Zeyno and her kids, so why should it be any different with his own child? Sure, he and Dilan weren't in love, but that shouldn't be a problem as long as they put Selvi's happiness first, right.

Speaking of Zeyno, it almost felt like he'd been punched in the stomach by the mere thought of her, and seeing her the other day. "I also ran into Zeyno." Jai almost grumbled, hands flying up to rub his face in pure frustration. "Finally met her kids." There was a bitter taste in his mouth as he said that and Jaiden practically snorted at how things worked out. Life really had a shitty way of giving him some things.

Vent under the cut, heed the trigger warnings in the tags

Tfw you've already had a long shitty day and you're getting blood work after a doc appt, like this is the last thing you have to deal with then u get to go home and relax. but you happen to get the worst phlebotomist (person what draws your blood) you've ever had, and you've had a LOT of bloodwork. And she jabs you twice with such incredible incompetence that she manages to even poke an artery, which is WAY deeper down than any vein, let alone the large and easily visible one she was supposedly aiming for. And so you fucking. start to cry:) and she's like 'welp I think we need to get you someone else' and I'm like 'oh you think????? Yes I would like someone who knows how to do their job please' but u don't say it outloud bc phlebotomist is right up there alongside tattoo artist with People You Don't Want To Piss Off

Anyway the second lady was nice and got it right away, no digging down to the bone required:D and now I'm. sitting in my car trying to calm down before I drive home. Like it was just astounding.. I'm not afraid of needles in the slightest but watching her fuck up so badly was surreal, like how did she pass her exam??? Did she even have an exam? I know entry pay for that job is crap (at least a few yrs ago it was) so maybe the bar is reaaalllllly fucking low:/

Hey, how do I kill the part of my brain that says I can't have more than one game that features food/restaurants on my phone at one time, or some mysterious "they" will think I'm obsessed with food, and therefore "too comfortable" with eating while being fat, and not "trying to get better," and I'll be given some kind of unnamed punishment?

[faithfromanewperspective]

idk if it's just me but doctors really seem unconcerned about people losing weight and just. wasting away or whatever. like i know that the whole i-must-eat-50g-of-protein-and-one-iron-source-carbs-and-fats-daily-or-i'll-fall-off-the-horse-completely-and-forget-to-eat-entirely-for-2-weeks-straight isn't the most rational thought process (but it's what you get if you go vegan as a growing and active teen who knows far too much nutritional science and has no executive function) but i'm also sick of no one getting concerned about anything but hydration if i'm throwing up for 2 days straight. WHERE ARE MY CELLS GONNA GET THEIR CHEMICAL BITS? anyway i really appreciate it when i feel well and get to eat every day. maintaining that IS a priority.

[pohlepen]

told the phlebotomist, "i like to watch. im a watcher" and we both had to sit with that while she drew my blood.

[treasure-goblin]

I am suitability freaked out this morning but it's ok I have two friends coming with me this time and it's supposed to be for my own good so yeah

[steorransaluki]

I do not appreciate being a medical mystery :|

[hiisheart]

( alright SO. at the doctor's office we discussed the potential for me going on T and they said i could do it if i liked, i just hesitated with jumping straight into it cuz smth apparently happened with the insurance in the sense that they're not sure if they're affiliates with it so they may not actually be able to bill them directly??? idk lol. BUT i'm crossing my fingers that whatever snafu they ran into shouldn't be a big deal and i'll be covered (which tbh should be the case cuz the institution was listed on my insurance's website as a covered provider) so 1. my parents don't have to take on another financial burden and 2. it would be a great place to do my immunizations/checkups/etc while i'm not at home, AND if i manage to talk through things i may be expecting with my therapist and my parents about potential future costs/copays/that sort of thing, then maybe, JUST maybe, T may be in my near future!!! fingers crossed for me!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 )
