Results of my ultrasound

If you are here, thank you, this is what I found out this morning:

1.)  The polyp on my gallbladder has been determined to be a “cholesterol” polyp.  It is of no harm and has not changed since the last ultrasound [they have one file] from like 3 years ago.

2.) I still have a “fatty” liver and my doctor says that this is a result of my on-going cholesterol issue (most notably, my triglycerides are pretty high).  After discussing a low-fat/low-carb diet (hahahahaha), I accepted a medication path.  The medication is called “TriCor” and is apprently mainly for triglycerides… She gave me a 7 week supply and I am due back in 6 weeks for a new set of labs to determine how helpful that the medicine has been.  She was impressed and happy that I was completely honest when discussing this.  This IS my health and I don’t mess around with doctors.

So, all of my bad dreams about gallbladder issues and cancer were just that… bad dreams.  But I don’t care to go on medication.  I don’t have to stop drinking alcohol (thank goodness) but I do need to cut down when I do and how much I consume when I do… this can also have financial benefits as well 🙂

Anyway, that is it.
