going to my favorite chinese restaurant where I don't get sick from the food! I usually have a cup of hot and sour soup and and an order of vegetarian spring rolls with dipping sauce. One of the few places I can go to that doesn't make me sick! And tomorrow I go in for 4 Welcome to Medicare tests at 7:30 in the morning! Such fun! Went for blood tests last week and don't have the results back yet. Right now I am so hungry I could eat about anything! On a liquid only diet today for the first test!
Will be glad when it is over...At least the doctor didn't yell at me with my weight.

[Rosey]

HUGS!!! I hate going in for tests when they don't let me eat.

i think this has been the longest day I have ever been thru! I am starving! Had to drink 12 oz of water every hour and clear broth for meals. The paperwork said NOTHING of the kind of food we eat so I didn't have many choices! Yuck! And I imagine I will be up all night running to the bathroom! Fun day

I will never get another barium enema test! Long day and came home to no power or water. Still don't have any. Running the generator right now...

[blondie]

Awww, was going to ask how you were doing. Hope your power is back on by now.

[ncyg46]

Awww, was going to ask how you were doing. Hope your power is back on by now.

thankfully it came back on about 6:30 last night!

well I haven't talked to the doctor yet...still got a few tests to do but I passed my bariem enema (which i will NEVER do again...sorta like baby labor) and my aneurism test. Ed stopped by the doctor office and got copies of our tests from Friday.
Cholesterol 158
triglyceride 83
HDL 76
NON-HDL..whatever that is...82
LDL 65
VLDL cholesterol 14
Chol/HDL Ratio 2.1

weight 108
T-4 Free-Non Dialysis 1.4
TSH 1.04

the only thing I need to talk to the doctor about are a few things...
Hemoglobin 16.3 H
Urea Nitrogen 6 L
Bun/Creat Ratio 7.5 L
Chloride 94 L

Anyway I have a few more test to get the results from and a few more to do. The Mammogram I have to go do at the hospital outpatient and the other women things I can do at the doctors office. At my age, I don't care who looks up there!!!!

So I feel better since my last cholesterol was about 186 or so! Getting there. Still have a few artery dopplers to get the results from but the doctor doesn't have them yet!!!!

[f1jim]

oh well I just lost the post i was doing...I sent my results to Dr. McDougall but got a response that he can't answer till the 15th! I guess he has something going on this week.
I am just happy that the cholesterol went down...not there yet but close!
working on it!
Wanted him to look at my bad numbers and advise me....have no idea what they mean!
