Doc appt tomorrow.
Got a message: Get your blood test before you arrive for your appt.
Oh Oh.
I check the internet.
What time is the lab open?
7am.
OK.
Mentioned to a friend: I am going to K town for blood work.
Friend: Did you know they moved the lab?
No.
I check the website.
Nope. No mention of that.
Called the health network.
They said: “Really?”
Oh hold, while they check with the Dr’s office.
Yup.
Moved.
Uhm, I believe the web page needs to be updated.
OK, in the meantime, I go to urgent care.
They have the lab open today.
Nurse: Hmmmm… I don’t have any order for you to get bloodwork.
She calls the Dr’s office and gets put on hold for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, I start coughing.
And can’t stop.
The nurse goes round and round with the Dr. office about the procedure to allow me to get the test.
The coughing gets worse.
Should I get the heck out of here?
Or continue to listen to the red tape, while I cough myself to death?
They finally decide:
She can draw, but she can’t send the blood out until she gets an order.
So she draws, blood , that is.
I hightail it out.
Wouldn’t you know, the coughing stops?
I am hungry as a bear.
I go to Dunkin and get the wrong order, and cold coffee.
I order a hoagie at the pizza shop.
Italian sounds good, but I am not a fan of ham, so I ask for one without ham.
I get the hoagie.
It is loaded with ham.
The cook is summoned.
Nope, that is not ham, it is salami.
Now, let’s face it, it is no secret that I was not born yesterday, and after watching forensic files every night, I have gained a few detective skills.
And that so called salami is not salami.
It is ham.
Liar, liar pants on fire.
Going to stay home the rest of the evening.
There is a loose bear around the neighborhood, and with my luck today, he would find me and eat me along with the ham I threw out.
