I got it....now, waiting is the hardest part.
well, i got tested on December 21, and now....i just have to wait for the results. This is the hardest thing i've ever done and waiting for the results is the hardest part. My Dad went with me and it took about 5 hours...the worst part was the doctor taking the blood. they couldnt find a good vein, so they poked me twice! all in all, the test went well. the doctor told me and my Dad that I do not show any symptoms at all of HD, but the blood test will tell the results. january 18th feels like a decade away. My Dad held my hand the entire time and cried with me when i cried. I realized that no matter what the outcome, I will be able to get through this. It's hard, but it something that I needed to do. It's just weird that the doctor is looking at everyday things that I do, that I dont even think about doing, like walking and catching my balance if i am knocked over....but ultimately, im praying to my Mom and God that it is negative and that i dont have it.
