Always Good to get Good News

[Bcol]

Hi all, I had my first blood tests for a few months, last one we cancelled due to lack of test tubes or something. Any way all is good. Everything normal apart from a couple of things. CRP 1.4, ESR 2.0, and HbA1c 38 ( down from last one).

My Haematocrit is slightly low and my Mem Corpusc.Hb (MCHC), Monocyte count and percentage monocytes very slightly high.

Nothing there that I can see is particularly worrying.

Have a good day everyone and stay safe. Peter

That's good to hear Peter. Very reassuring and shows you're doing all the right things. Long may it continue.

Like your friend - hope he hasn’t supplanted George your affections!

Nah, can't remember his name. Met him and his friends a couple of years ago when we went to a friends wedding. We liked the place so much we went back there Christmas 2020. Think George is probably sulking due to all the rain we've had as I've not seen him for a few days.

Not surprised - trying to keep all those feathers in tip top condition!Okay for humans- just have to take coat off and let it dry - heck of a lot more work for a 🦚 peacock!

Dunno - already hanging out to dry and can create his own drying wind ...

Takes more energy to lift a wet tail!.....so long as he paces himself though 😂🤣

The haematology stuff is probably the "anaemia of chronic illness".

[Bcol in reply to PMRpro]

Yey, that's what I decided as well

Good news indeed, Bcol.(When I saw the picture above your post I was going to say it's perhaps time to get a haircut.😉)

That's what my OH has been saying as well!!!!
