Physical
I went for my physical today. We'll see how the blood test comes back; I hope it's all okay. Today was pretty uneventful except that she wanted to test me for HIV (Huh?), Hepatitis (Huh?), my liver, and then for normal stuff like Vitamin D, diabetes, etc. She also noticed what she thought was a cyst near my liver; she didn't seem worried about it; she just said it was keeping her from really feeling my liver. She also mentioned considering taking a sleep apnea test...that might be causing my lack of energy during the day. I don't think I'm going to take it yet, but I'll consider it. I don't want to sleep with one of those creepy crazy masks. I guess if it help though, it would be worth it, but neither she nor I was convinced that I have sleep apnea, so, it's just in the thinking phase. Last time I had blood test, the sugar levels were getting close to diabetes, so I'm nervous about that too. Oh, and my blood pressure on the blood pressure medication was better, but the lower number is still really high. I think today it was 124/98, something like that. It used to be the top number that was high. I'm not sure how medication knows which number to target, or maybe it just lowers both. So, she'll probably raise my dose of medication for that. Oh, and she wants me to go for my mammogram: I haven't gone in two years; I'm putting it off. Anyway...Don't I sound old?! ugh! Now I want a drink! Maybe I'll have a sensible glass of wine. Oh, and I have to wash the dishes, which I REALLY don't feel like doing! Can we say "procrastination"??
