I finally HAD to make a trip to my Kaiser Rockwood Clinic today. I was allowed to put off a blood test to check my blood since I am on a blood thinner. In January, a new medicine was added to my daily meds and it was one that can throw off my Coumadin. I was having to go in to the lab every week for a check. Then the virus hit and I just didn't want to go in. My doctor had me call the anti coagulation center and as I had been within range, they let me go 6 weeks. Well, today was the day to go in.
Jim drove me over and I had my gloves and mask on. My provider Kaiser really does things right. They had a person directing you where to park as the pharmacy pick up was set up under tents in the parking lot. I was told to go in the front door. A lady was waiting there and asked why I was coming to the clinic. She directed me to the lab. It wasn't busy. The lab techs were wearing gloves, masks and shields. The stations were spaced apart. I was in and out quickly.
I got my results online tonight and I am still in range. The nurse will call me on Monday and tell me when I need to go back for the next test.
I am so thankful I was in range. I have been watching my greens and after 5 years, I pretty much know how to balance my greens. I am relieved this visit is over.
