My doctor's office just called me here at work a bit ago...my doctor had one of her assistants call me to tell me that she'd put in a lab for me and to schedule a follow up appointment.
Now here's the background briefly: I had an appt in mind Jan with 'another' doctor who noticed about a year ago my dr ordered bloodwork I never got done. So I did that. Well then my dr called for a follow up. So I went, my cholesterol and whatnot were great. But my white and red blood cell counts were off. She asked if I'd been sick because it sometimes is from infections. I'd been sick a few weeks before I had the bloodwork so she had me get it done again to be sure. She said she would be calling me for a follow up over the phone.
So today's call makes the third time she's asked me to get bloodwork done. I asked the girl who called if she knew why but she didn't. Or maybe she just didnt/couldnt say??? And of course...my follow up appt this time isn't till March 16. Which just happens to be 2 weeks before my DH is out of the military...meaning I am about to change everything from doctors to insurances. So I don't know what is going on. Works been a beast so if I've been sick I havn't had time to notice. Sure I've been tired...but like I said, work has been a beast lately. And yeah I'm feeling crappy because my head still isn't off the boat or the airplane from last Friday.
I'm trying not to worry...but I have no idea what could be going on! Any ideas why blood cell counts can be off? I can't remember if they were high or low at this point. If it were really important they'd be wanting me in there right away right? I won't have time to go get the blood drawn till Friday but I think I'm going to call and see if they will get me in sooner. I mean really...if I need meds or something and might need more follow up appointments I'd like to do it now, now while I'm in the middle of looking for a new doctor!!!
