Labwork results

Jan 15, 2009

4 years and almost 2 years out a little late on the "yearly" bloodwork, but still got the resutls.

This is the 1st time the nurse from my Dr's office called with the results, which is never a good thing.

Cholesterol -164  -can't beat that!  and 84 on the other #
Protein - 6.2  - normal is 6.4
calcium - I forgot the # she told me but that is low also.

I had an IV Injection of Reclast last Thursday, it's a once a year calcium boost.  This is actually a treatment that is given to Cancer patients, it was a wake up for sure sitting in the Oncology section of the hospital.  I almost felt greedy for asking for this treatment, however I knew my calcium levels had to be low (proof was in the lab results) - plus I'm turning 50 soon and with my age, weight loss and injuries, I'm a perfect subject for Osteoporosis.  Thank God it's only once a year it makes every bone and joint in your body ACHE, big time!  The calcium supplement I've been taking is not enough along with calcium in dairy products I do eat -- DO YOUR CALCIUM!

Everything else came back NORMAL!   

I also have been under Dr's care because I have had my back injured twice (2x's) in the last 2 months.  First one of the guys at work lost his handgrip on a brake rotor and that slammed me in the back. OUCH!  results, sprained back.

Then this wench at the bar decided she didn't like me, came up from behind and slammed me in the back,  Results, WHIPLASH another big OUCH!   I am just confused at if she has issues with me, why sneak up on me from behind? when she outweighs me and out MEAN's me by a mile.   I just asked if she was done when she walked away screaming obscenities at me after her attack.   I did not lift a hand in anger, nor in words, or shed a tear, that had to piss her off the most.

Anywho's regardless I've been seeing a lot of Dr's in the past 2 months, 1 good thing remains constant, my BP 100/60, yes I run a LOW BP, even when I was heavy 126/80-- just in my genes, however I have to be watched so I don't bottom out. 

My goal is to UP my protein - I still rely on protein shakes at least once a day, sounds like I'm going to need to up it to 2 because I still cannot eat a lot of dense protein.
