Got my checkup results in the mail yesterday:
- My fasting blood sugar: 84 fine
- BP: 110/70 fine
- Total Cholesterol: 162 appears great, except
- HDL: 34 far too low
- Triglyceride: 57 normal
- LDL: 117 above optimal
- chol/hdl ratio 4.8 (way too high)
- hemocrit 33.8 (way too low)
- hemoglobin 9.9 (also too low)
ETA: that other (you know) test, the girly one. First time EVER it's been completely normal! Woohoo! I must be livin' right! lol And we shall never speak of this again. I promise.
On a non-health related note, I finished the pine bough quilting last night and jumped into the river border. So far so good, pictures later, maybe.

Hey, at least you aren't a diabetic to boot!! Why are you so anemic? Last time I went to the doc I refused to go on the scale.. I told them "I'm still fat.Write that down". Geesh
Why am I so anemic? Who knows? When Simon was born I lost a considerable amount of blood and have been anemic since. At the time I took Ferrous Fumerate, 600 mg morning AND night (with a goodly swig of prune juice) and my levels only reached "normal" after 6 months. Since then, a daily multivitamin seemed to work okay until recently. So I'm adding the Slo-Fe and we'll see if that works.
