[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 3278249, member: 530"] Daayyyyuuummm, [USER=33200]@sedona[/USER], now you kinda got me skeered! I've donated blood for years and, yep, them needles are a lot bigger. Never thought much about it. My PCP normally did blood work once a year, but now that I've got a cardiologist involved, he lets the heart doc order the blood work. He didn't like some of the numbers having to do with kidney function on my last visit, so he asked me to adjust the frequency on one of my meds and ordered more blood work after sixty days. I hope this doesn't become the routine! Point being, if I had not been getting regular blood work, those kidney numbers might have gone unnoticed. I'm hoping it irons itself out! [/QUOTE]
