Day 197 - Sugar, Ah...

K___ has an appointment with a specialist blood clinic in Southend today.

Unfortunately, my boss is going to get married and go on honeymoon next week, so I am in sole charge of information governance for the next few days. It also means that I cannot take time off to be with K__. I knew she had an appointment; she asked me if I could take the day off a while ago, but with handover meetings necessary, it wasn't possible. I hadn't realised that it was a day for needles. K___ doesn't like needles.

It's the glucose test, you see. This means that after nine o'clock in the evening, K___ has been banned from eating or drinking anything. Tomorrow morning they will stick a needle in her and grab an armful of blood. Then they give her some drink and test her again. This will apparently take all morning.

I know she'll be okay, but I do feel a bit rubbish that I couldn't get the morning off.
