Blood Draw Monday

 



I am trying to remain complacent. I'm trying to let things run off my back and said no really care but in the back of my mind I guess I do care a little or I would not be writing this. I cannot say am surprised I'm not I'm definitely sensing a pattern. Anyway, this morning I hope health person texted me she was not coming once again citing car troubles or something. As last Friday, I think she's another part of the state with a guy “friend”. Isn't it funny how they always call these escorts or people friends? I mean really I don't know what they are and I don't care – – once again I'm just elated that Annette has somebody take her out to make her feel special. We all need that. So anyway, now they think about it I did not get a text from Annette I got a text from the troubleshooter from the agency who has two cover all the bases. She She informed me that Annette would not be showing up today. But she also informed me that she did have anybody else in the bullpen to cover and that she was hastily making phone calls.She also indicated that it could be a couple of hours before we have a definitive answer and sure enough at about 9 AM I got a call indicating that they could have somebody to the apartment around 4 PM that was fine. I could've even gone till tomorrow if need be but 4 PM is fine.


My goal today was to pop the bus and get on over to Intermountain healthcare medical campus in Murray and have my blood drawn as part of the doctors visit I did last week over the Internet. Some things one has to do in person. As I was pondering the 4 PM visit of my home health person I realized I had a number of hours I could actually get the blood drawn and then I wondered could I achieve the same result by going to one of the Insta care outposts around the Valley? There Is an Insta-care not far from from me here in Taylorsville much closer than traipsing across the valley over to the hospital. IHC has a number of these outpatient labs available and they all fit in the mothership. I wish I could say it was a remarkable trip but it was not there was just a great morning ride to the community college then to the lab. The blood draw was uneventful (thank goodness) in fact I had to complement the phlebotomist on the fact that I didn't even feel the punch of the needle going into my vein. How nice? That experience alone could've been the high point of my day.


Sometimes nothing to report is the best blog entry of all, my home healthcare person showed up at four clock roughly and after some brush up training we got the job done. She will be my personnel for the rest of the week and hopefully and that will be Annette will be back next Monday set to go for the next couple weeks until the next minivacation…
