IVC filter has been removed successfully

Apr 13, 2010

I'm sore and a bit tired but the filter is now gone and I am glad.

Also received some of my actual bloodwork results numbers from last months test (one year surgiversary).  When I checked out the cholesterol and triglyceride results against norms I had to say a big WOW.  These are all really LOW numbers.

LDL 56 (ideal = less than 100)
HDL 50 (ideal = 60+ but 40 to 60 is OK)
Cholesterol "total" 119
triglycerides 67 (ideal = less than 150)

My zinc level is indeed too low and I've now added extra zinc supplements to my daily pocketful of vitamins.

I was told to cut my vit A in half, but now that I'm seeing the result I honestly don't understand why.  I was taking 20,000 iu and was told to cut it back to 10,000 but my lab result shows a 346 in a safe range of 325-780.  (unless maybe vit A interferes with  zinc absorbtion)
