Mixed report from the VA today.
Blood pressure is very good...............and, for my age, the Dr. was surprised.
No Diabetes ........ no worries there..... but do have occasional low sugar spells
Heart............good
Lungs expanded and reasonably clear.........breathing good given I am currently suffering from severe allergies......
Ankles and right knee arthritis not good.......not much to be done there
The Cholesterol tests were kinda puzzling to me. Dr. said there were four specific numbers/levels they go by. One was the good cholesterol, one was the bad cholesterol, and I can't remember what the other two were called. Anyway.....my good cholesterol is really good. Dr. surprised about that. The other two were good to very good also, however my bad cholesterol was borderline bad. Dr. giving me three months to drop it by 16 points through diet and exercise, if I don't, going to put me on meds for it...........and once you start them, you have to take them for the rest of your life. Anyway, Dr. says from all the tests and such, believes it's hereditary and I will most likely end up on meds.........
Urine was clear and good.......no blood, or bad stuff there. Blood work inconclusive. Said they got mixed results on two different tests...........so I have to do it again pretty soon.
Prostate and Colon are gonna be worked over pretty soon..........provided stool sample, it was inconclusive as well. Don't know how that could be.........but gotta redo it as well.
Sinuses severely messed up by all the pollen filling the air......back on those strong steroids I don't like. Mess with my sleep and give me a headache, but they do work..........as far as clearing up my sinuses, so I guess I will put up with the other. Only have to do them until the first week of July.
Time I got home, I was worn out. Poked, prodded, stuck, twisted, in all sorts of places and shapes.......anyway......
thanks for the prayers........
It will be ok............
