When I fast for blood work I eat a snack before bed. Sleep in as long as I can. I carry a shake so I can have food right away. I try to be kind to myself the rest of the day and realize I might have a few days of feeling off.

Thursday morning I'm scheduled to
: have an epidural injection for my
: spinal stenosis pain. This
: requires me to eat nothing for at
: least 8 hours prior to the shot
: (due to use of light sedation).
: And this means skipping breakfast
: - which leaves me kind of
: uncomfortable.

: I suppose one missed breakfast won't
: totally mess up my blood sugar.
: There's a restaurant near the
: facility where we usually stop
: after these procedures for a meal
: - which will be lunch by then!

: But this break in my new routine
: leaves me feeling "all shook
: up". Any advice or
: suggestions would be welcome.
