8623/21542I went for my annual health check at the GPs this morning and all seemed fine. I've lost a fair chunk of weight since last year (not all due to cancer treatment) and my blood pressure was good and when asked if I got depressed I said no, which apparently counts. The nurse doing the assessment said that I needed to have a blood test, which as it has to happen on a Tuesday I can't do til September. I said "Do I really have to do that? I must have had at least eight blood tests in the last three weeks. Can't you just use one of them?"
