    Give them a ring and get an appointment for tomorrow and see if you can have your blood test today.

    I hope you are feeling a bit better today.

    To get an appt tomorrow, I'll have to ring up tomorrow. There's only the answering machine (that doesn't take messages, just has a message) today. There's no way I could have a blood test today with no doctor to authorise it.
    So, I'll ring up first thing tomorrow morning. But, again being Tuesday, the doctor will be in a neighbouring town in the morning and will come to this town in the afternoon.
    They don't do bloods in the afternoons. Only mornings.

    See why I hate small towns!?!?

    How far is the next town oveR? Is it worth the drive?

    Its normally 32kms, but with the flooding at the start of the year we have to go another way. Because 1) the pipeline burst and the road is completely gone in one spot and 2) a lake has formed in the valley in another spot. They pumped the water away and it came back. Road probably won't be open for 12 months or so.
    The other way is about 45-50kms.

    I'm still on my L Plates (cause I'm so lazy and don't fill out my book.) so I can't drive there myself and DP can't get the time off work.
    So, I'll just have to wait until Wednesday.
