Congrats on your promotion! Glad you had a quiet weekend at home, those are the best IMO.
On my end I've been painfully, patiently waiting for the results of a karyotype test I had blood drawn for over a month ago. Found out today there was a communication break-down and the test was never ordered. So I got the blood drawn for the test today!
I also came out to my grandfather and he was supportive, so that's nice.
I'm glad that your grandfather is supportive of you! ๐ I hope your test results come back well. A month is a long time to wait, only to find out they'd forgotten to process it. ๐ hopefully you won't have to get blood drawn again, I always pass out when I get blood work done.
aww, thank you - I don't expect I have a chromosomal intersex condition, but I think I would regret not getting tested to find out. I think any outcome is fine with me at this point, I just want to know my chromosomes.
I had to get blood drawn anyway to test estradiol levels and liver enzymes, etc. and I had a really good phlebotomist. I've nearly passed out when I've had less good phlebotomists, though, so I feel you - I really wish I could get over my needle phobia.
