Going to get the new does on Saturday! Hope nothing breaks this time!

Leaving at 7 am to get my blood work done. 4 blood draws in 3 hours. That's gonna be... Awesome.... Sigh.

Ewwwwww...have fun with those blood draws... or NOT! Hope you pass this one!!

Better to be closely monitored closely than not and have a health problem. So it might be a PITA, but keep checking and stay healthy.

Here ya go.

AGH meat........chops, rib roast, pork belly with some rib attached in this pic.......the leaf lard was beautiful and easily rendered. One had a little more fat on the pork belly. This was a boar. NO taint.

Oh perfect, thanks! Chops look particularly delicious. Someone is selling AGH piglets for $25/piece, good thing they're too far away or I would have trouble controlling myself lol

Waiting for blood draw #2, good thing they have Wi-Fi and I brought a book to read. I'm hungry and need coffee!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Yum! I've got absolutely no complaints on mine and we're eating boar too.

 

[NH Homesteader]

And done. The last 2 blood draws hurt! I was getting dehydrated so my veins were hard to find. Time for coffee and food!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Yikes! Betcha you're glad that's done! Drink up - and eat heartily, lol. You deserve it!

When I left the phlebotomist reminded me that the lab is moving tomorrow to the new building that was just built... I hope that doesn't mean I need to know that anytime soon! Usually takes about 2 days for the results to show up, I'll be watching...

That's a brutal test during pregnancy. I hope your results are within the normal range.
