Whilst I don’t yet have a date for my surgery, the NHS is keeping me on my toes. I recently had to make a trip to the hospital to hand over some more of my blood.
I knew they would want to check to see if the iron infusion had done the trick. So I already had that appointment in my calendar.
However, a telephone call out of the blue informed me that they wanted more blood. Apparently they needed to check my liver function and also to ensure that my blood is clotting correctly.
Over the last few weeks I have had so many needles inserted I beginning to think I’m in an episode of Hancocks Half Hour, namely the Blood Donor.
So many things to do and be tested for before an operation
Yes, it seems to be never-ending. I’m going to apply for my own, named, parking space.
