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;-)…

last week a staff person from Dynacare came by to do my blood work…

over the last few years I’ve seen four or five of their staff… this time is was a fellow whose been quite a few times…he’s very efficient and I didn’t even feel the needle go in;-)…

I wore the bandaid for a while and when I removed it, there was only a tiny pink spot without any bruising…

although my healthcare plan doesn’t cover the cost it feels worth it to have them come by the house…

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…

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…
