Pretty Pathway and the Sample

 I took this photo on a walk a couple of weeks ago.  The trees likely have a lot more leaves on them by now.


Pretty Pathway

My mom and I went for routine fasting blood tests at the lab last week, as a result of our annual physicals at the doctor. We also had to leave urine samples. My poor mom went to the washroom but forgot to actually collect a sample! So the technician gave me the container and we decided to go McDonald's for breakfast. I made sure to get an extra cup of water with our cups of coffee! And all is well that ends well, I was able to deliver the missing sample shortly after breakfast!

And a couple of days ago, we got our Shingles shots.  When I went to pick them up, the pharmacist told me I had to have them administered (by the doctor) within 15 minutes even if they are kept on ice!  Well, that didn't happen, it was more like half an hour, so hopefully they will still be effective.  In fact, I had to sign off that I was accepting the 15 minute terms of use.

In other news, my daughter L's well-used blackberry phone erased her entire contact list yesterday.  She was so mad and not to mention panicked!  Looks like it's time for an iphone!

Had to laugh at your Urine story! I bet the same thing happens to plenty of people! Hope the shingles shot doesn't hurt! Valerie

How were you able to inject the vaccine yourself? That must have been difficult. I rarely use my cell phone... only for emergencies.

I spent the winter battling shingles, not nice at all, one would think they would have told you of the shot needing to be given within 15 minutes before picking it up, very tricky stuff! A new phone, now thats pricey, YIKES! but what would we do without them, actually I don't have one, ha, but my kids do and my hubby,

Interesting about the Shingles shots and the fact you had to sign a form as well. I am sure it will be fine. I have a Blackberry too and I must admit I wish I had got an Iphone instead. Next time perhaps. I can imagine why your daughter would be upset.

So funny about your Mom's urine test! I need to ask my doctor about a shingles vaccine. My sister got shingles a couple years ago and it was SO painful. Good for you and your Mom for taking good care of yourselves!
