Good Results on Blood Work
Friday, January 22, 2010
Thanks for your kind words, dear friends.
I got back some relatively good news from four different tests. Yay!
1) My liver is good, slight elevations but not enough to worry about. Was REALLY sweating that. I had slight elevated levels 17 years ago and thought I was due for Hep C to rear it's evil head and develop like it's done on everyone else I knew back when with my drug history.
2) My pancreas is good. More good news I was sweating.
3) My sugar level is at 95, which is great.
4) But my triglycerides are dangerously high. Too much carbs, high cholesterol? Stress will also bring it up. The doctor said it could lead to pancreatitis or something, if not treated and could also lead to heart disease. So, what to avoid is colas, cakes, cookies, crackers, chips, and fat. No problem, I think. Sweet fruits and fruit juice will be sorely missed.
So I now have medication for the triglycerides and another checkup in 6 weeks.
A giant audible sigh is still wafting over these mountains.
