My appointment for my bloods today was at 9am. My Consultant app was for 10am. Not too bad considering it sometimes takes about 30 to 40 mins before I am seen in blood clinic. Today however, we set out from home at 8am giving us plenty of time to get there during rush hour. What happened in reality was we arrived in less than 25mins. A slow walk up to the ward from the car park only wasted 10mins.
So in I went for my bloods, there was one lady and myself in the unit. I looked at the clock 8.50am, mentioned to the nurse that I was due in clinic at 10am so she could take as much time as she wanted to. Then the consultant came in to the unit. He was ready as soon as the patients were clear. Said he would see me as soon as my bloods had been taken.
At 9.10am I was in the consultants room. Wow!! He informed me that all my blood levels had risen, except that I was slightly anaemic but not to worry about it. He was very pleased with my progress and would urge me to keep up the exercise and the walking. I was out of there by 9.30am and on my way home. Hooray for holiday traffic.
