Having had the entertaining chat with a doc on Monday I today received another letter, from a different doc at the practice, asking me to repeat the test that was done on October 29th. :roll: This time they are checking the FBC and my haematonic levels, so it looks as though I'm anaemic. Hey-ho. I am going next Wednesday to get them done, that was the first available appointment. Time to start munching watercress and pilchards methinks. DD

    Hi DD, I have been following along with your various sagas. Good that they are being so thorough with testing but I hope it's not re-igniting worry for you.

    Best wishes to you,
    Anna

    Anna, you are very kind and thanks you. I admit I don't get too worried by anything, mainly because I don't have the energy or the inclination. I know I frighten Mat with my sanguine approach to medical matters :lol: I currently have more pressing urgencies at the moment, like moving house sometime in the next three weeks or so - and 'im indoors being a total twerp. :roll: We're both under pressure at the moment but of very different kinds. Onwards and sideways! :) DD

    Hope the next bloods are done quickly and efficiently! I never cease to wonder at your determination and courage as you plough through each hurdle.

    Ah dibdab, my hurdle-leaping days are long gone so I am perfecting the ploughing-on-thorough approach. Life is co-operating by giving me lots of practice. :)

    You are waaaaay wrong on that, Bubba, I am far from being a saint. My view is this: I will repeat the tests then get the results, I can then decide whether to panic and go into meltdown versus just shrugging it off with 'it's all more of the same'. I suspect it will be the latter approach, it usually is. I am far too indolent for more exertion than that. :lol: DD

    Oh dear, I bet it feels like never ending trips to the vampires. Still, I'm glad the OK blood test was indeed, OK. Fingers crossed for the next ones!
