I went to have my prescriptions refilled last week and found out the doctor wouldn't fill one of them less I see him. So, last Monday I went and saw my good friend, Dr. Slavico. Now, you know and I know, you can't go to the doctor without dropping off some blood, so that I did. So, let's start with any good news....
My AC1 was better than the last time, but he still wants me to take a med to help with my Type 2 Diabetes. My blood pressure was excellent...must be the two meds I take for it are doing the trick. He didn't mention total cholesterol or tryglicerides, so I assume they are OK. He did mention my "bad" cholesterol was too high so he upped my meds for that. My liver enzymes are stll high and they have been for years. Some of it's due to being overweight and having a "fatty" liver and some of it's due to the meds I take on a regular basis. My one good kidney is still dumping allot of protein into my bloodstream so he wants me to check it out with my nephrologist, so I need to make that appointment. Since moving back to Georgia, I have never established a relationship with a cardiologist, so he gave me a referral to a cardio guy that goes to church with us and I see him for the first time tomorrow. He currently treats our Pastor's dad and another good friend of mine and comes with high recommendations. I go back to Dr. Slavico on Wednesday to see about the Meds for the diabetes. Finally, I have had a fit with my left hip for years and it has finally gotten to the point I am looking for some relief, so I'm off to a Ortho guy on December 10th.
With all of that said....I don't need any further advice or opinions from family or friends. I know what I know. I'm a big boy and know what I need to do. I'm just keeping everyone informed. Past all of that....I feel pretty good....good enough to run some basketball officiating last week.
