My Husband is a Super Hero!

OK let's talk about yesterdays adventure... All of our documents have been approved except Fred's medical document has expired so I made an appointment for yesterday @9am. We went in to talk to the Doctor (who was VERY apologetic about all the mistakes that happened with this document)and he ordered new blood tests for Fred and told us the results would be back by Friday (that means I'll be at the post office Friday afternoon to mail that form to Madison). For those of you that don't know my husband Fred is a BIG man, he is 6ft. tall and 300lbs, this big strong man has only one fear that I have found in our six years of marriage and that's needles! Not only does he hate needles but he has awful veins. We once had to go to urgent care and it took two nurses and six needle pokes for them to find a vain, poor guy! I prayed so hard that his blood tests would go good and they did the first time around but yesterday it took two nurses and five pokes. They put the needle in and then poked around for a bit, I couldn't even breath. I wish I could have been in that chair for him, my veins pop right out, I don't even really need that elastic band they put on your arm. But he sat there for 45mins as they searched and searched for a vain they could use! I'm so proud of him! We joke that adoption is the opposite (in terms of pain) of pregnancy. Here I was standing by his side reminding him to breath and assuring him he was doing good and that it was almost over... Fred said he thinks his pain was worse then child birth! That's why God gave women the "blessing" of child birth he knew men couldn't handle it or at least not FRED!!!! I LOVE YOU KAROL!

  1. I know just what it's like Fred, You're not alone. I don't even like to think about needles.

  2. Oh dear! My husband and I are the opposite. His veins pop out and mine are puny and hard to locate. Glad that you were able to get that done right away. Submitting soon? :)
