Hi lisa, I just read your post and had to jump in here about the throat test. I am the biggest weenie and i dont remember a single thing abut having it done. you are just so out of it. i remember asking my husband when they were going to do it and he said it was already done! It really is no big deal at all. You got through the worst part already and its OVER!!! yeah! Go take a hot bath and get a good book and you will be just fine!!!!! I have a lot of testing coming up on the 20th of May and i think just thinking about it all is the worst part. Hugs, jody
