Life of the Lab rat...



Hmmm day 1 was pretty much easy going in the lab with basically nothing for us to do other than to slack around, we pretty much made ourselves at home much to the annoyance of the nurses. They had two PS2 consoles and a xbox as well. So there we were started off by kicking arif 's ass in gran turismo then went on to do so in smack down, where needless to say i gave out an ass whooping he'd probably want to forget about. Then we moved on to pool were i thought he would give me something of a competition, but should i say more....We also borrowed a movie called Hitler, which potrayed the life of hitler obviously.

Anyway back to the testing of drugs, as were told beforehand we were suppose to do a series of tests for a drug that was supposedly for asthma. Day 0 was the 1st day that we were admitted into the wards, we practically dd nothing for the whole day cept just laze around, well you don't have to guide me on how that is done...

Day 1 was totally and completely the opposite, we had to lie in bed practically the whole day. We didn't even have breakfast... and lunch was like at 2pm, thats like 8hours after waking us up. I was like so friggin hungry, so hungry that afte gobblin up lunch i actually felt like fainting, probably because i ate too fast or is it because of the medication? The 1st dose was given to us a 8am and we had to fast 4 hrs beforehand and 6hours post dosage which explains the hunger i had to be put through. And on top of that we had to go through a series of testing like every half and hour or so, there was barely any time to sleep... Zzzzzzz. Plus the best part was that they also had to cannulate me, this is where they stick a syringe in your arm and draw blood every time they needed to... And this was like everyhour or so ..... i was like a frigging tap where they kept taking my blood, maybe this was what made me light headed because i was lacking of blood... haha..

Well anyway i miss you dear... Sorry can't talk to you earlier...
