None of them bitch as much as I would if I fell out of the chair again like I did when I was 16 and I let the tech talk me out of it. I passed out once when I was little when I watched another kid get a shot. Once I even passed out watching a film in junior high health class, it was in black & white. I can poke myself and test without a problem, now. I can't let someone else do it to me until I lie down. A few months ago, I had to tell DH's nurse to shut the hell up when she was trying to start an iv and started telling horror stories about ivs. I had to lay on the floor until the room stopped spinning and I hadn't even been watching. The same thing happened when my kid got stitches and didn't want me to leave the room.

6 fingers band-aided up? Wow. Last time they did one of those tests on me I passed out and landed on the nurse out of my chair. Hopefully she escaped my 6'11 frame, but I really don't know. Needless to say needles are not my thing.
In any case, thats great to hear that the tests are reporting so closely together. I was a little alarmed they were so far off last year. Good luck on getting all 10 fingers in New Orleans, its making me a bit faint. Oh, and you said next year was the 68th, but I think you may just have 68 on your mind, since thats where your are now.
