Okay, I just did the Doctor's visit, was in the office for hours. To make a long story short. I love my Doctor, his staff in everyway is awful. I was poked four time in both arms, and both hands. No blood draw!:mad: We waited in the exam room for over thirty minutes, and no one came to take the blood. We went and asked if they had an emergency, no they just forgot about us. :mad::mad: Now, with no blood draw and not getting any prescriptions, I have to go back next week for another attempt at blood draw! If they can't get it out of my arms or hand. I have to have it taken out of my neck. This has been upsetting and stressful. Thanks, so much for listening and letting me rant about how bad the medical system is getting! By the way they couldn't get any blood out of hubby either. But he only got poked once, after my ordeal they realized enough is enough. Sorry about this, guys...The rant is over and I'm good now. You are all great listeners. On to read better posts than mine. ;)

Ugh, that sounds like a terrible trip to the doctor. I hope next week goes better. Maybe you should bring a bell with you so if they forget about you, just start ringing the bell!

Oh and as for the blood draw. I have difficulties with that sometimes. I was told to drink a lot of water and sometimes that helps. Heat sometimes helps the veins pop too, so if they can't get into the veins ask for heat to be applied.

Did you even see the Doc and communicate your human pin cushion story? They can send you to outpatient care at the hospital and have a Phlebotomy person draw your blood. These people are also great at putting in an IV too. I had my vein collapse with an IV by an inept RN while in labor with my DD. Never had anyone have an issue with my veins. They sent a phlebotomy person in, no problems first try. The collapsed vein hurt for weeks and over road my labor pains. Not fun.

Thanks for the advice, @Cesar R M and @StarWarsGirl95 . I was at Target, and picked up a new cable. Now, the flickering is gone. Now it is just black. If I turn the screen off and on, the display comes up for a second or two, and then gone. I did some googling and it looks like that was the end of that monitor. Got find a new one super quick so DS can keep working on his college applications.

Does the screen show any text or code when its flickers on and off?
tried using it with another device or computer?
does it fail when you enter bios (aka outside windows) ?

The monitor I kept from the previous set up. Dell monitor, and it is at least 10 years old. I am thinking it is probably more like 12-14 years, so I can't complain.

thats a long life. So it probably means the backlight lamp is finally dying.
you can get pretty good deals in monitors right now. Because manufacturers have been pushing hard on the 4k crazyness.
