I went to my new primary doctor, and she was most excellent. She didn't lecture me about not wanting flu shots or invasive screening procedures. She simply notated on my chart that I wasn't interested. What?!! That's so fucking lovely. No arguments, no having to say "I don't want that" more than once. It was very refreshing.
She examined me, and said I was in fantastic health. Yay!
And because I make my coffee fun with egg and such in it, she wouldn't draw my blood because I wasn't technically fasting. It took 2.5 weeks for an appointment to get my labs done elsewhere. Who knew that was in such high demand? It wasn't even a covid-19 testing facility.
Anyway, that came back, too, and it's brilliant!
I started crying when I saw my hemoglobin firmly in the healthy range. I suffered so many years being anemic. It feels so much better, mentally and physically, to be healthy.
