Wisdom and advice to share from all of this:
Don't let them draw blood or put an IV in the back of your hand unless ABSOLUTELY necessary.
Keep your focus on God and make the most of every situation...it is part of life!
Pray and focus on being a blessing to others who are enduring more difficult circumstances.
