O Positive vs. O Negative!


Well....so - my doctor calls today about the whole blood type "mix up".

Turns out - it is not. She said, this is the first time that she has ever encountered this...but get this (summarized, of course) :

Back when I had Isaac, there were certain methods of testing blood. At the time, I was considered a "weak positive", but the way things were classified - positive I was.

Apparently now, with the way they do tests and classify blood - I am not considered positive! I am now considered O Negative!

So - when she said blood types don't change...well, it's not that my blood changed, just the way it is classified did.

So - how nuts is that?

I would get another test just to make sure at a different lab. And start stocking up your own blood. And stay away from vampires.

Is it just that you're not in as good a mood for this test? :)

Yeah, after speaking with my sister in law and mother in law - who both work in labs, they both explained the "Du Variant", which apparently I have. They were like "oh, yeah, that happens".

Just bizzaro!!!
