Following on from my gastroscopy on 14th October at the Limassol new hospital, I had to go back a couple of weeks after finishing up my course of antibiotics for a blood test.
The test has to be sent to Nicosia so they can check to see if the Helicobater Pylori infection has cleared up and I will have to wait around a month for the results to come back to Limassol hospital…
So last Friday 4th November off we went to the hospital and handed over my form for the test, which was given to me with the exclamation of “Aaah” – hmmm yep, I agree, it was most definitely an “aaah” but more like an ” AAAAARGGGGHHH”
Although the taking of the blood didn’t last so long, the procedure left a lot to be desired. After not finding the vein the first time, the nurse proceeded to just generally keep the needle in my arm and hunted around till she found something that actually produced blood.
I was still bleeding after leaving the hospital and reaching Ayios Tychonas 😦
So I will await the results patiently and hope I don’t have to have another test….. The first one I had – before the gastroscopy took place was all perfectly easy and painless but this one? Well, you can see for yourself:
