blood results.

I forgot to write yesterday to let everyone know the results of the blood work that they had me do before we went on emergency leave. The good news is, I am not diabetic and my thyroid is good. Bad news, we are back to square one with this issue. *Sigh* At this moment though, my doctor thinks the more important issue is figuring out what is wrong with my esophagus, and I totally agree. So for now we are focusing on that and will come back to the weight at a later time. There was a small abnormality that made no sense to me in the blood results. My cholesterol level is a bit high. She asked me if I ate a lot of fried foods, but I don't. She said the good cholesterol levels are balancing out the bad ones though. So no risk for anything there. I just wonder why it showed up a little high. I also got my results from the specialist and the tube procedure. My tonsils are fine and do not need to be removed. The only thing wrong that was noticed in that test was that when I swallow, my esophagus spasms and contracts too much. The next thing I need to do is a barium swallow. That's where they take x-rays while I drink this chalky drink. The x-rays will show them if the liquid is following the normal flow pattern and if there is anything blocking it from going down. I'm not too thrilled about it, but it can't be any worse then having a tube jammed through your nose and down your throat. I actually just called to make the appointment, and the only one available is March 30. That is the day after I sign the lease to the new house. They told me I could call back every day and see if anyone cancels to get me in sooner. As soon as I do that procedure then I will have another appointment with the specialist to go over the results of that and what the next step will be. This whole process is going to suck.

Love, Me.
