on Friday Dynacare came out to the house and took some blood for my next doctor’s appointment in a few weeks… the appointments are in four hour blocks and they arrived within half an hour of the start time…

hoping that my A1C remains in a good place as I continue to be careful about my eating habits… I am always nervous that the numbers may have gone up…

the technician was in and out of the house inside of ten minutes… for the first time they used a pillow to raise my arm to make the process simpler for them…

they are very good at what they do and once again there was barely a bruise…

happy to have the test done… no point in worrying anymore as I will find out in a week how I am doing;-)…

had bloodwork done again yesterday morning…

when I was at my appointment recently, the doctor advised they hadn’t received a report from Dynacare with numbers for my A1C…

I had it taken a week ago, so he checked online, and it said there was no sample… once I got home I gave them a call and was told someone would call and they would come out to take it again at no charge…

apparently, something happened in the lab…

I am still happy to pay for them to come to the house to get this done, rather than go to a busy lab…

saw the doctor, and as my A1C was low again, he advised that I’d only need to be checked every six months…

he was pleased with my blood pressure and so was I… then he mentioned that he would see me in three months for my next checkup…

apparently I will still have to go every three months, but only do the bloodwork twice a year…

well, that was disappointing…

but the good news is that I got my flu shot and an appointment for my COVID booster shot in January at the clinic;-)…

woohoo…

crazy day today…

no one has been inside my house for weeks and three people were in it today…

nice man from Dynacare to do bloodwork…

my grandson to bring up the toolbox from the basement… he also brought us breakfast, chose tools and discussed a landscaping job that needs to happen in the garden… thankfully we did all of that outside…

and my son-in-law to catch the fish and take them out to the pond… he also repaired the very broken bottom step on the deck so I won’t fall through it, and fixed a rocking bench in the shade garden…

I’m exhausted from all that company, lol…

I had blood drawn for my doctor’s appointment next week…

they came to the house as I still don’t have the car and it means I don’t have to go to the clinic twice… such a handy option…

my technician did a great job and was only here for minutes…

just had the tiniest mark on my arm;-)…

today, a Dynacare technician came to the house and drew my blood in preparation for my doctor’s appointment next week…

she was efficient and knowledgeable and it took about fifteen minutes in total… she was masked and put on a gown before doing the draw… she was also very excited to see all my orchids;-)…

I was very happy when I learned that they can come out to the house… apparently they have done that for years… there was a $35 charge, but it was simpler to have them come out rather than have to get the car from my grandson, go to the clinic, and then have him come back for the car…

my appointment next week is by phone so I don’t have to go to the clinic…

crazy times…
