I took Monica for her blood test this morning. The lab was very busy (about 30 people ahead of Monica). I was going to have my blood tested today (my doctor had prescribed a 6 month test after my last physical). I couldn't do it however as I forgot that I was supposed to fast for 12 hours . For sake of maintaining symmetry in my life, I may have to "read up" on how to best do organic fasting
We got the results from the blood test in the late afternoon. Rosemary (the nurse-practitioner who we most often deal with) commented that they are getting better but slowly. Monica's platelets have improved (actually her numbers scared me a bit when I realized how low her platelets were at one point) and her white blood cells are a little better. Her hemoglobin did not drop but did not go up much . The nurse summarized it by saying that she is still anemic. So, another blood test is scheduled for next Friday ( I guess I am fasting on Thursday). If Monica feels good and if next week's numbers are steady, they may give her a week off from the blood tests.
