Well, after the visit on 3/13, I was told that my liver enzyme levels were still elevated and that i had “some things” with my white blood cells. (That was vague but it was relayed on an answering machine message by an assistant…) so I had to have another test which I had last Friday, 4/11.
I got the results back today. My liver enzyme levels (otherwise known as liver panel) was normal. But apparently, they did not take enough blood to re-check my white blood cell counts and after a phone call, we decided to just re-check during my next visit, which will be in 3 months.
I was run down and still getting over my skin allergy from the Irish Spring Soap, and that could have affected my white blood cell count (by the way, the overall count was normal, just that the accute infection cells were high and the chronic infection cells were low). So, it all makes sense.
Therefore, all of my blood numbers are normal and I am not supposed to continue drinking alcohol, but I think I may have a beer here or there, but not more than in one night and maybe not more than once a month…
My liver is more important than beer… I can live without beer (though I don’t want to!) but I can’t live without a liver…
So, there is my latest update… I won’t have another visit for 3 months! 🙂
