Blood test result

Day 68
3rd June 2009

Ah Jon went to uni today. He came back in the afternoon complaining of pain all over the body. He said that it is like he has just gone through a marathon. After dinner, he has gone to sleep!

He went for his blood test last Friday, 29-May. We were spoil by the super fast service in NMC. They can get the result in one hour. In Miri, it is at least a day. Worse, not all the tests are done here. They must be sent to KL and will take additional day(s). Anyway, here is his latest reading:
