I screwed up! A week ago, when I pulled out my blood test forms from their dusty storage place where they'd sat since June, I discovered I had missed having the requested blood tests for August and September. The etchings on my calendar showed only a mid October appointment with Dr. Y. The previous pattern for blood tests and appointments had always been to get a blood test either the day before or the very morning of an appointment. How many times had I made the long, early morning drive to the lab at the Jubilee? Seems my mind had prearranged this oversight and the highlighted, penned note at the top of each lab form which clearly said "For monthly testing" had been ignored. Oops! I slipped in, a little sheepishly, to the local lab for the October test, as if I was the irresponsible kid who had neglected to do his homework.
Yesterday the doctor's office phoned regarding my October 13th appointment. "Would you mind moving your appointment to November 3rd?" I was asked.
"I guess this means there's no hurry! My last test must have been fine?"
"Looks like it." the nurse said. "See you in November."
