Back to work after two days off sick again. Dunno what this thing is but it's hard to shake. Booked in for blood tests. I have recently started seeing a different doc due to the other one leaving. I'm booked in for blood tests. She said it's fasting don't forget. I checked how many hours I need to fast for because it's impossible to get to my local place in a morning on a weekday. She reminded me that it's 8 hours so I said great I'll eat at 7 am and go on my way home. She said no in the morning. I explained that if I eat at 7 then 8 hours after that will be 3 pm. She looked amazed.
I actually got caught out a few years ago and learnt the hard way that you can fast for too long. I got to the place at about 10 am by which point too many hours had passed. The docs don't tell you that. On my last one last year it stated on the script or referral that it was "non fasting". I phoned up the place to check on that and of course it was fasting. I mean these are the people we trust our health and therefore lives with. It's a worry at times.
Anyway whenever I have had bloods in the past they never seem to find anything that might be causing my illness, doesn't hurt to get checked out on occasion though.
Oh and thanks to TRK's rec I watched "Heads of State" and can confirm that it's a very jolly romp. Most enjoyable. Not too cheesy and lots of action.
Cheers.
