So glad your upcoming surgery is preventative!  I had a single mastectomy/chemo/radiation, then a full hysterectomy/chemo.  All is well, and you will do wonderfully I am sure!  Best of luck to you.

 Holy Guacamole, Kelly!  I might as well go in and tell them to cut something major and get it over with!  I also love the Ron Man!  He is so funny and calls it like it is.  I had no idea of course on that much lab work, because I am not there yet.  Geez Louise, do I need to take in a good book????  :) Jane in California

I always take a book to medical appointments.  I hate trying to find something to read in the waiting room magazines.  I get much less annoyed if I have to wait a while if I have a good book.

 I have the same issue... They never know the right codes for some of the tests and have to look them up, then they have to figure out that the vial for the Vit K test has to be light protected (as far as I know, that is the only one I get that requires it), then they have to count out and assemble all the vials... It takes forever even once they GET to you.  I just had my labs done and it was either 13 or 15 vials... Don't remember which.

Yes, if you don't get yours done, you can hardly give anyone else grief about not getting theirs done... And SOMEONE has to do it... So go get them done!

I think copper has to be light protected.  I can't remember.

You know, I have Andrea's workbook and I think it might say in there.  Now I have to remember where I put the book.

If you get the same ones drawn each time maybe ask them to make a list this time after they figure it out, and give you a copy? . And then when you schedule the next one give them a copy of the list at that time so they can be ready for you?

I might do that.  I do get the same ones drawn each time.

Kelly....
Get er done!
So glad you posted this. Whenever I "tell" on myself I normally call my Mom. She's as relentless as a bulldog and I KNOW by the next time I talk to her I better have done whatever it is needed to be done.  :)
We will happily be your bulldog

Got it.
