Gorgeous Dominican nurse just drew 3 viles of blood. Why couldn't it have been 4?

To all the haters claiming I have no blood, I just saw three viles full. So there.

Radiologist saw something in my chest xray. Heading for a CT scan. Are we having fun yet?

In about 2 hrs I'm gonna be by myself in a hospital without my laptop and a dead phone. I've gone to hell.

I was complaining about having to watch tomorrow's games in bed. Never thought it would be a hospital bed. Wow.

I wonder if anyone at this hospital knows how to make a martini with bleu cheese olives.

CT scan done. Now the big wait to see if I need a biopsy. Cross those fingers.
