My HIV/Syhalis test is at 9.15am, im petrified, its suddenly hit me that as from tomorrow its out of my hands and what will be will be.
I saw my GP last week for the form and he gave me some counselling, told me it would deffinatly be negative etc..... he said the result takes up to a week to come back, they say this about all bloods. I have my bloods done every 2 mths to test my iron count and I get the results within 24 hours even though im told to not bother ringing for a week.
I am not sure how im going to cope waiting, everytime the phone rings I will jump out of my skin. I have booked an appointment for Thursday to see my GP, he might even think thats abit ott of me as he said a week but im sure by then the result will be on his computer, the hospital is fairly quick. I just can't face ringing up for a result like that and hearing it over the phone from a receptionist otherwise id just ring on Tuesday and wednesday to see if its back, I feel I need to either hear it from my GP or see him in person so thats why I booked Thursdays appointment.
Do you think it would be wrong of me to ring him at teatime tomorrow to see if he has the result or to ask if he could ring the lab? he is obviously a very busy man and I don't want to annoy him. When my son had a full blood count to rule out childhood cancers because of a lump the drs found in his neck back in June he had the bloods done on the childrens ward at 3pm and at 6pm that evening i rung my GP who rung the lab and got the result for me but it was marked as priority by the ward but my GP was lovely about that.
Arghhh not sure what to do but im so scared.
