“Love is Like a Butterfly.”

"It goes where it pleases, and pleases where it goes.”

That's the message at the bottom of this mural. It consists of a tree and a bunch of paper butterflies. Children who come to this laboratory for tests are invited to add their name to a butterfly.

At Sunrise Medical for Monday Murals 

I wound up here for blood tests on the recommendation of a medical office. We are following up on my hospital visit that determined I was dehydrated with postural hypotension. I also have some nutritional deficiencies, so my provider wants to find out if I am anemic, among other things. I am still dealing with fatigue and dizziness, even though I have increased my salt intake, and I continue to try to consume enough water.

I had not been to this location before, although I had been to the office park where it is located. I had trouble finding it because my GPS seemed to be confused and the street numbers did not run consecutively. Once I found it though, I did not have to wait to be seen. 

I’ll get my test results this week.
