A new record!
Nov. 26th, 2013 02:57 pmI got lab work orders from three doctors. Did them all today. The result?

12 tubes! A new personal best! It only took three sticks to get it! Then I got to give another few drops for my INR check (I would have done that at the lab, but doing it with the tech means instant feedback and we need to talk about issues that affect my absorption rate on the Warfarin.)
Now I just need to wait a few weeks to find out if I have an amazingly rare disease that would explain my low white cell count and tendency to clot even on blood thinners.
Next appointment, December 5th, at the eye doctor. If he orders blood tests, I'm out of there.
