Got my test results today......After a fashion.
My Dsn phoned the house and spoke to my wife instead of the phoning the number, I had phoned, and given the surgery this morning. Breakdown in communication possibly?
(I was given a new phone at work today so the old number was no use).
Any hoo, the message relayed was, his cholestorol is spot on, the blood suger count is marginally higher than last year but still within limits so, still ok, no meds, diet and exercise status quo to be maintained, blood pressure was well within acceptable levels considering the exercise taken before the test.
To say I was gobsmacked is an understatement 😱
I don't know how I got such a good report, my only concern is that I have no numbers to compare against the last check.
Before I found this all out, I had phoned the surgery at approx, 3 O'clock, hoping to speak to the Nurse (my main concern was that I had missed her and wanted to be able to ask questions about the numbers if (more like when) they were reported bad.
I got the snotty receptionist, speech, " the Nurse doesn't make reports to patients, we do" (receptionists). She then contradicted herself by telling me that "everything was fine and the Nurse would phone me tomorrow".
So I get home and tell my wife, and she says that DSN has already phoned, she then proceeds with the message she was given.
Confused or what??? I'm almost afraid to phone for clarification incase I get the dragon lady again. (my temper, when given the run around is known to get loose occasionally, and I can't afford to alienate my principal care team)
W hiskey T ango F oxtrot is the politest way I can think of to put it. (I apologise if I have offended anyone).
Still the bottom line is nothing is as bad as I had thought it was (thank you, pick/insert your diety)
Wonder if I could ask for the numbers the next time I visit? 😛
