Lab result fail

The only part of my lab results that I care about: Platelets. And what does the number say?... Nothing.. Instead of a number it says (and I quote):
Unable to perform accurate platelet count due to platelet clumps.
Platelets appear decreased on slide.

Now.. platelet clumps don't necessarily mean that my count is higher.. it just means someone screwed up with my blood. :P Either the phlebotomist or the lab techs... or my platelets where just excited, they couldn't wait to start sticking together! (Ha! There's an entertaining mental image for ya!) *Sigh* Well.. I'll be seeing my hematologist tomorrow... so we can order one again. This is a total drag though, cause I wanted to see if what I ate on Sunday made my count drop. Yes... that sounds slightly masochistic... but to be sure, I did not do that on purpose. Whilst in the processes of filming, we went out for lunch. I ordered a black bean veggie burger (wrapped in lettuce). It was pretty good, but really salty... and later that evening I felt like crap, and my left arm was in serious bone pain. And then the next day I had two nasty purple bruises on each hip!
But so much for that experiment! Way to flub up on the one thing that counts, people!

Right... vitimn D calls me...
