Hi, it was part of my early discussions and my plan was to have a phlebotomy before leaving for a ski trip and I've got a standing order for a CBC and TP in MyChart so I can get one anywhere as needed. I get a specific headache in a certain spot on top of my head when my HGB is high so it's a great way to let me know to get my numbers checked.
I was happy the doctor was very open to letting me continue to do what I love.
Very much appreciate your feedback! I'm sure we'll help others with this thread, why I love this forum so much. Great input and support, like from Lori!
Be well 🙏
