You say you want to live forever?

By Breaker (Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 07:20:19 AM EST) (all tags)

Walk and talk with me.
You say you want to be the lonely dreamer
I can do that with a touch of my finger
And I don't mind, nothing to me at all

Cos I feel it, in the blood
And the blood will out.`

Results:

Hepatitus A / B / C : NOT FOUND
HIV : NOT FOUND
Ferrites : 280 down from over 450 parts per whatevah
Thyroid : ANOMALOUS

SO, all in all, very pleasing results apart from the thyroid. Excellent news. Further tests in 4 weeks. I have been bloody impressed with the NHS, in all truth.

In other tests, it turns out I have the most cleverest blood group of all: A+

The council has finally sorted its paperwork out and is coming on the 1st August to fix my living room floor. Today is the 3 month mark since I raised the problem with them. Your tax pounds at work, oh yes.

Current status
Not hungover at all
Coffee in hand
Pondering curry for luncheon

Currently pissed off with:
Things at home, still.
Visual Studio 2005, still.
The government (take this as read until 2010)

There, that's me.

How are you?

I will drink to your health tonight! by nebbish (4.00 / 2) #1 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 07:31:45 AM EST

Glad to hear you haven't got the aids

Yes, I do admit that was a tad bothersome, having that hanging over me.

In short:

Sis has savage cancer at age 39
Advised to go and have some tests
Tests found no cancer but other weirdness

Still, you could have been B-...

Hey, on the upside, you can now blame any weight problems on your thyroid.

I always found it amusing that my blood type by greyrat (4.00 / 1) #5 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 08:08:19 AM EST

was the exact opposite of my GPA.

Congratulations. Thyroid is easy to deal with. Just ask the gecko.

Current status:

Very slightly hungover.
Coffee and porridge at hand.

Yes. Easy. Compared to Hepatitis C and HIV? by greyrat (4.00 / 1) #26 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 01:18:39 PM EST

Easy Peasy. My ex had Grave's, my mom died from Hepatitis C and one of my former neighbors was HIV positive. So from my first hand experience comparing the conditions, the one surviving person had it pretty easy with a dodgy thyroid.

[ Parent ]

You see what I'm sayin'? by ammoniacal (2.00 / 0) #31 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 03:02:19 PM EST

Your EX had Grave's. Is POSSIBLE that the Grave's has something to do with why she's your EX?

Be candid in your response for full credit.

No. I only see that you're too pathetic by greyrat (4.00 / 1) #34 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 10:27:14 PM EST

to get over your EX. It's not at all SURPRISING that she is your EX considering your asinine BEHAVIOR.

I was pretty good a year ago. by ammoniacal (2.00 / 0) #38 Sun Jul 27, 2008 at 07:09:45 AM EST

It can effect you pretty strongly when people abruptly cut you of emotionally.
Not that you'd know about that, right Mr. Empathy?

Your late-night, mid-morning chats with her have improved your humour.

: Interestingly, I have *never* chatted with her by greyrat (2.00 / 0) #43 Sun Jul 27, 2008 at 04:37:05 PM EST

late at night, when I'm in bed serving as msrat's bed warmer or mid-morning, when I'm usually up to my ass in meetings with the continent and sub-continent. And yes, I'm allowing for time differences. So just to up your paranoia level, she's probably chatting up someone else.

That's my blood type too by webwench (4.00 / 1) #6 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 08:45:11 AM EST

It sure as heck never made me very clever

Hurrah! by Merekat (4.00 / 1) #7 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 08:48:21 AM EST

No hangover? What?

Current status:
Warm.
Impatient - find out next week if I get a nice project which will involve more Ukian (and elsewhere) trips.
Bemused - bought a fruit-herb-water drink that tastes just like Irn Bru.
Pondering where to go for beer - lake or canal bar.

Currently pissed off with:
Omniplan, for being almost but not entirely like MS Project.

Fantastic news by hulver (4.00 / 3) #8 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 09:02:39 AM EST

Unfortunately you now have to tick "Yes" to the "Have you ever had a HIV test" on an medical insurance forms, and see your premiums rise as a result.

Fuckers.

That gets more fun by Merekat (4.00 / 1) #9 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 09:04:16 AM EST

One swiss insurer was insisting on a HIV test for cover, which would of course immediately make everyone else more expensive.

wait I thought by bobdole (4.00 / 3) #14 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 09:51:05 AM EST

lying on self-report forms was obligatory. Did I miss something?

Probably not, but I'm in one of the top 5, so you can't be sure...

Hmmm by Breaker (4.00 / 2) #15 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 09:51:49 AM EST

How will they know if I lie?

They do research after the fact. by Phage (2.00 / 0) #16 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 10:19:14 AM EST

If you fall ill (for whatever reason) in 2025, they will access your medical records for insurance.
If they find any lies at all - particulalrly about HIV or pre-existing conditions, they will deny you cover.

Only if I permit them access, surely? by Breaker (2.00 / 0) #17 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 10:45:56 AM EST

Or is that covered in some smallprint clause somewhere?

Can I ask that my medical records be destroyed I wonder?

Indeed by Phage (2.00 / 0) #18 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 11:01:48 AM EST

In the contract it usually says that in the event of a claim, they may have access to your medical records.

Then I have them destroyed by Breaker (2.00 / 0) #19 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 11:08:38 AM EST

Before making a claim.

If you can by Phage (2.00 / 0) #20 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 11:12:47 AM EST

I'm not sure they're your property.

But I'll ask the doc next time I see him.

With "The Spine" by hulver (2.00 / 0) #21 Fri Jul 25, 2008 at 11:13:53 AM EST

They won't have to ask. They'll just do it.

Oh I know the govt. is saying at the moment that this would never be allowed to happen. But let's face it, once all this data is there it will just make sence to allow more and more people access without even telling us.

They've done it before.

I haven't given blood in 5 years. I used to give every couple of months. Now, with all the reports about the ARC blood banks.... not so much.

Actually, I don't think I've even seen a blood mobile in a couple of years.

How much by Breaker (2.00 / 0) #37 Sat Jul 26, 2008 at 02:50:12 PM EST

Is a pint of blood worth these days in USia?

IIRC. They break it up into components to use for multiple people.

I stopped by Herring (2.00 / 0) #44 Sun Jul 27, 2008 at 08:38:09 PM EST

because I found out I was AB+ (which is useless blood) and I was taking fairly high doses of Venlafaxine. Never went back - although I should.

Which is nice, TYVM.
