Blood Tests

I finally had my blood tests on Monday morning.

Last Monday morning I was supposed to have them but Reid brought me a coffee in bed and then Zachary made me some oats for breakfast. It was only after I had it all that I remembered I was supposed to fast.

This time I got it right.


I have decided to go with the sleeve.

The GP

I had an early morning appointment with the GP in Melbourne so I travelled down the night before and went with friends to a spanish restaurant. The food was magnificent.
The GP was lovely and very thorough and took more interest in my IBS than anyone else ever has.
Turns out I have no real problems but have to have obligatory blood tests which my own doctor will see to next Monday.
I have booked into the psychologist for grief counselling on October 14th which was the earliest I could get.

The Psychiatrist

I have been told that I am too honest for my own good.


After a quick tour of Albert Park I finally found Dr. Leon Fail's practice, a quaint little house tucked behind the cafe area of Albert Park. There is no receptionist, just a doorbell and a locked door that he opens for you.

I have read on forums that he makes his money very quickly.

A quick chat about my weight ups and downs and mostly the huge up since the Mothers Day after Mum's death and he tells me I will need grief counselling or I could sabotage the whole procedure and then, are you paying by cheque or cash, here's a pen. In total 10 or 15 minutes of his time.

I probably do need counselling and I know a good one, I just don't want to fork out the money or the time.
