I had an appointment yesterday with an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor… I just had to put my ear ringing on the new patient form, so I got to take a hearing test (oh, boy!!!) but it went well and I am borderline normal\/perfect.\u00a0 The doctor that gave it to me said it was like having 20\/30 vision.\u00a0 Not quite perfect, but very close.\u00a0 (and this wasn’t even why I was there!)<\/p>\n
I finally saw the doctor I was there to see.\u00a0 He did an exam and determined that I will need a sleep study.\u00a0 Due to a few issues (including snoring), I am not getting good quality sleep.\u00a0 This may be causing some of my tiredness during the day, etc.\u00a0 This wonderful sleep study is to be scheduled soon.\u00a0 I get to sleep in a room they have arranged like a hotel room.\u00a0 Well, I have spent quite a bit of time in hotels this year, so it should be natural now! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
He also gave me a prescription for Flonase for nasal congestion.\u00a0 I am pretty sure that’s due to allergies, etc.<\/p>\n
My last physical resulted in two no-so-bad issues:<\/p>\n
1.) My LDL Cholesterol (the “bad” Cholesterol) was 113 and the doctor wants it under 100, so now, I have to take Lipitor in addition to the Tricor… 113, I thought, was normal… unfortunately, the government has changed the guideline to 100… Because it’s necessary or because it’ll sell more medication?<\/p>\n
2.) My blood-sugar was 100, which is supposedly 1 unit above normal for fasting level… I am going to have to have it checked again.<\/p>\n
In 6 weeks, I have to go back and get my Cholesterol and my blood-sugar re-checked.\u00a0 Fun, fun, fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
