I was out of the house early this morning, to go get the bloodwork drawn. Got to the lab, shouldn't have even gotten out of the truck as the little voice inside suggested.... about 20 people waiting, for only 3 phlebotomist. No receptionist up front, only a new touch screen on a podium, asking what you were there for..... then spits out a number.
I left and went back home. Reviewed the grocery list with the wifey, added a few things, and got my list of needed things at the hardware store. Decided it would be a good day for errands.
I was going by the lab again, so I stopped in again.... now only 3 people waiting, so took the opportunity. Took about 15 mins to get to the back, and another 10 to be done. The phlebotomist told me to make an appointment next time (that's a new policy). She said even if there's a long wait / crowd, you just go right in..... wish I new that beforehand.
Then finished up all the errands. No shortages of anything on the list.
I am undecided on the new knee brace. Yes, it prevented the "buckling" of the knee, but by the time I got home, the knee looked like a balloon with a tight string around the center..... mmmm, wonder if that's good....
Still waiting for authorization from the insurance to make the appointment for the nerve specialist..... I hope they don't drag their feet....
