My Butt Hurts
Squeals-a-lot!
Hey guys -
This is more of a vent, but there is a question or two in here too.
Feel free to stop reading - it might get long.
I swear - nothing can ever be normal for me. I went to get my blood tests for Imuran, which I am supposed to get every 2 months. I got to the place at 4:31. It closed at 4:30. I drove to another one that was open until 5. I have a standing order there, which means I don't have to bring a form with me - just tell them my name and it's in the computer. Well - the girl said there was nothing in the computer. "What tests are you getting?" Me - "I don't know, liver function or kidney or something?" She tries again - nothing. She calls my docs office, they're closed. She calls someone else, asks "Why does she have two medical record numbers?" they don't know, and don't know what to do about the standing order. While she's waiting for them to figure something out, I asked her if I could get a semen analysis (saw it on the form - thought it sounded like fun). She said no, but not because I am female, because you have to schedule that 24 hours in advance. Finally she looks up my previous records, finds out what tests I had, and said that the last lady didn't do something correctly on the computer, so I got lost or whatever. Good thing there was no one else there, cuz I shut the place down until 5PM. Funny thing was - I swear I bonded with the girl cuz I was there so long. We actually had a good time in the end. She asked me to lock the door as I was leaving so I pretended that someone was trying to come in, and I wouldn't let them. I really got her on that one. ha!
So - my questions -
It seems like everyone on here gets their blood test results, and knows exactly what they are talking about. I have seen MiniCooper rattle off numbers like crazy - and understands them. I don't even know what my blood tests are - and I NEVER hear about the results from my doc, let alone get a printout.
I asked the girl what they were testing for -
Alt & Ast
Bilirubin
CBC diff
GGTP
Alkaline Phosphate
(Duh - I just looked them all up, now I don't need to know what they are. I still don't know what t he numbers are supposed to be, but maybe I will ask this time.)
And all of you know your blood pressure and what the number means, and I have no idea. All they say is "You're a teacher and your blood pressure is that low??"
And I don't even know where my Crohn's is located.
And what the heck was my question anyways??
I am just feeling like an airhead today...
