I just got them through the mail. But didn't go too my appointment and never got a call back so thought they must have been normal. I got a copy for it at the clinic because I lost the other ones 5 days ago.

Hi and thanks for using the forum.
I always think it is a good idea to follow up with the doctor after you have blood work done. Generally, they should call you when they get the results or send you something in the mail to let you know that they received your lab results and that they were reviewed. Otherwise, you are left wondering what the results are. You need to call the doctor who ordered the tests and ask him/her if they can review your lab results with you. YOu can do this at either another appointment or sometimes they will do it over the phone with you. I hope this helps. Good luck.
