A few weeks ago I was as cool as a cucumber! 

Now that I know I HAVE to be at the doctors office tomorrow for my first set of bloodwork my nerves are getting the best of me!! I know that there is no time like the present to continue this journey! But def still nervous!  

One thing I am doing different this time is having FCI give me a copy of my results from the initial blood work, so I can compare the two and see how much of a difference 1.5 years makes!

    It's okay to be nervous, and totally expected! Some appointments and days will feel more overwhelming than others too. I think it's great that you are going to ask for your records so you can keep track, that's a definite way to feel more in control. Best of luck!
