Today I had my first of the weekly blood tests, these have just become routine now but sometimes I am still shocked by how much they take, it seems like such a lot! The reason for the weekly tests is to check my liver and kidney functions and also my general blood count. This will show if there are any problems and also if the medication is working. There was no one in the Pathology department at the Lister Hospital so we walked right in and a nurse came and took us straight into a room where it was over really quickly (I even had a pink chair!) The nurse let mum take a couple of pictures which I thought might help someone who was scared about getting a blood test. The main problem for me was that I couldn't picture what to expect, so this is what I look like getting my blood taken!
Not very attractive at 8am with a needle in my arm!
