At my center, and every center I've been at we have all the blood tests at the beginning of the month.  My question is what do you have half month?  At my old center we had Potassium and Phosphorus at this new center we have H&H  (hemoglobin and Hematocrit). 

I'd rather know what my P&P are than my H&H.   What do you have half month?

Stephen had P&P only once a month while he was on dialysis.  I thought that was dumb because it's so important to know.

I am so embarrassed.  :shy;  i should know what my mid-month tests are about.  I used to know but I have forgotten.  I  will check tomorrow.  But at the month-end everything is tested.  Got to get on top of things!
