...And Then We Played

Test day! I drove into the city exceptionally early as I needed blood work for Dr. K. and the sonogram of my leg. Often, there is a long wait time for the blood draw due to all the transplant people. Planning an hour of wait time, it was a nice surprise to find myself alone waiting for my number to be called. I was finished within minutes. Thankfully, I brought a book with me and read until heading upstairs to the vascular clinic.

I did get the results of the blood tests later in the day. The numbers are not good and I expect to hear from Dr. K. who will send me to yet another specialist. My immune system needs boosting.

Onto the vascular clinic for a sonogram of my leg. I arrived 45-minutes early, she took me right in and I was gone before my 10:00 appointment. It was really a very simple test, I could hear the blood flowing as part of the test. It will be interesting to see what is going on with that leg.

My poor leg. The bruise has grown tremendously but I was able to move around a whole lot easier yesterday. The only pain happened when I tried to pivot or step down a stair on the good leg, which somehow hurt my bad knee. I was even able to walk around the clinics building without pain.

To add to a fun day, I had a rehearsal with the Irish Fiddling group last night. It was fun to play some great music with six other musicians. Perfect ending to the day.
