Default I was too upset about my bloodwork results

I just got the promised letter in the mail with the information on my last bloodwork.

Last time my cholesterol was 232. It is now 199.

Last time my triglycerides were 279. It is now 221.


So overall, I am thrilled. I didn't start the South Beach Diet until August 2nd. (I looked it up!) The first test was in June. From that time, I had started working on cutting out the sodas and candy. But, I didn't start doing really well on the fast food until I started SBD. So, I am now happy with the results. They are not as significant as my DH's, but still good. My triglycerides were reduced by 20%!

Whew, Dana! Silly nurse! She should have said "It's much improved" instead of "still too high". I get my results next week when I go to the doc. The darn guy is on holidays until Thursday so my lab results will certainly be there - unless they lose them.

Hey, chickies, I'm all thrilled! My new digital camera is now working - Staples gave me bum batteries! - AND the memory card from the old dead digital works fine in the new camers. I now have my summer pics back! Yippee!

I'm going to scurry around and do some tidying and cleaning before I go to meditation class. Romano (who is Macedonian, no Czech by the way), comes early tomorrow to sand, vacuum, prime, have a coffee while the primer dries and then he will paint the whole wall with what looks like 2 cupos of leftover paint! Margo, Elaine and Bailey will arrive about the same time as the sanding cleanup! I suspect we may be having lunch at the Long Horn. It won't be a Martha day for sure!

See y'all later.

Yay! It sounds like your doctor's nurse needs to go to school for remedial optimism studies!

Thumbs up

Dana....awesome!

Someone (maybe you?) needs to have a talk with that nurse! Sounds like she needs a reminder of the power of her position and what she says to patients.

Keep it up girl!!
