Blood and Needles

254

it was about 10 years ago when i came back from indonesia. i felt week, tired, and kind of sick. i thought i got malaria or some kind of food poisoning so i went to get my blood checked. i had to wait a week for the results and that felt like the longest week in my life. luckily, everything was perfect and guess what? i felt better in a minute. all in the mind?
then when i was in tokyo in may, it was time for another full blood check. i went into the office feeling great, than when i seen the big needles, i didn’t feel so great anymore. after the doctor sucked out my blood, i started turning purple and had to rest on the hospital bed. i hate needles!!! then she injected me with some vitamins and garlic. it was weird because my breath started to stink. injection of garlic in the arm results to instant stink breath? it was weird. anyway, that week was the second longest week in my life. when i got the results back all negative, i couldn’t be a happier man.
