more health update
My PCP finally called me back about the bloodwork we did when I was in two weeks ago.
As I suspected, my vitamin D level was low. Not just low - dangerously low. Instead of the 50 is should be - I am at a 3. So she is calling in a prescription level course for me to take for two weeks and then I can go on over the counter.
She also said my cholesterol is a tad high. But as I had not fasted that day, I just need to keep an eye on things as my good cholesterol numbers were really good and keeping the bad in check. But sis is on a cholesterol drug and I recall Dad having some high levels towards the end, I guess it's something to start really keeping in mind, as before I had had pretty spot on normal levels. Just more incentive to get walking again and change up the diet a bit.
