Hi Couchies!

So, this happened:
I had my pre-surgical blood testing done a few days ago. The ENT's nurse called me yesterday and said my PTT (it measures bleeding time) was too high. She had me repeat the test today. If it remains elevated, they want me to go to a hematologist. Surgery would be delayed.

It's almost silly. I originally went to the ENT last month just to get a new hearing aid. Now all this.

What would make ones PTT be elevated? Hmm.

Hopefully, it's just a lab error.
