They have to pre- and post-counsel you (which I always find is extremely beneficial & everyone I have sent for counselling has been hesitant before but is very happy with it afterwards) which means the whole procedure should take half an hour.<BR/><BR/>If you go to your doc and they draw blood to send off to be tested, then you will get the results the next day, and pay for the test. <BR/><BR/>Now you know...Good Luck & Enjoy the experience!Champagne Heathenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540128789208726965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28321828.post-1150886253463660412006-06-21T12:37:00.000+02:002006-06-21T12:37:00.000+02:00It is true that alcohol lowers your inhibitions to...It is true that alcohol lowers your inhibitions to ridiculous standards.<BR/>I'm about to for a test too.

I can barely give over my hand to the nurse, let alone accurately prang a bleeding hole into my finger. But bring on a serious pain & ailment & I am all eyes rolling "bring it on"...

She asked how I think I could be safer. I said that I think I need to cut down on my drinking, which puts me in dodgy situations. She said, "Oh don't talk to me about that. I drank whiskey on Sat & Sun, and think I am still drunk this morning"....one of those modern cousellors then! <BR/><BR/>This time tomorrow & it will be all Table Mnt, chilly seas & winefarms for me....!
