well good new is I was worried about my blood tests for noting. lol.

the ONLY thing that had bad numbers was my cholesterol whoch has been bad honestly for the last 20+ years. lol.
The great news part is I DO NOT Need thyroid meds anymore. my levels were good, so my old doc had me on the meds prematurely or unessisarily.
Iron levels were good. so no more need for iron for my period unless I just want to keep the flow ammount down.
Also the BEST PART. NO KIDNEY...

Geeze I got up today to a voice mail from the doctors office My PCP that is. the new guy. Had my blood work done on wensday now thursday the office has called about the test results. So now I am worried!!

He ordered up a TON of blood work, checking thyroid, iron and hard telling what else as my medicaleze is getting rusty 20 years out of the nursing field. lol
Since its summer and our sleep schedual is all messed up (Went to bed at 10am this morning lol ) ...

Well I finally saw the new doctor yesterday. Spent 2 hours on the first visit just getting the baseline stuff down. he ordered a ton of tests. Changed some of my perscriptions. And we talked about alot of things.

OMG my new doc is a DISH! LOL.


Right now his take on my increasing mobility problems/weight is that he has ordered hydrotherapy. To increase strength and stamina so that I can hopefully start getting in more daily excersise. ...

Yea yea I know I rarely post in this blog but I've decided I'm gonna be better about doing it more.

I watched several of my family members go through weight loss surgerys in the past 20 years with mixed and sometimes horrid results. To the effect I SWORE I would never do the same. And Here I am now wishing it would go faster.
