On Friday I got my second blood test and x-ray since I started growth hormone therapy.
I first had my blood test done. It was fine; the blood test hurt this time but I was okay in the end. My dad took a video and a picture. I think he was not supposed to do those two things and the lady who took my blood came up to my dad and said (in a weird voice), "You may not take pictures, she has a needle in her arm." The lady seemed "awkward", maybe that is just her I guess.
My x-ray went great. There was one person in front of me in the line and he let me go ahead of him. I needed to go to my school's homecoming game, so I went up to him and said, "May I please go in front of you, I have to go to a homecoming game for my school." He said "of course" and let me have my turn so I would not be late. The doctor came out and he said, "Samantha Haber" and I went in. At first I thought he was going to put a shot in my body, but instead he put a sticker that said, "Left" on the plate where I had to put my hand on for the x-ray. The x-ray was soon over.
My bone-age about 6 months ago was age 10, and I am actually 11 and a half. This x-ray will show my bone-age and see if it has changed. It probably didn't but we will see. I put a picture of my x-ray for you to see what one looks like. When I sent it to my mom she said, "You have a beautiful hand." :-)
In a week and a half I will be going to the doctor to get an update. I will keep you posted!
