This is good bye

... made ya look ,didnt I?

I'm leaving tomorrow for my Floridian vacation. It's Emerson's first birthday so we are going to spend some time with them and take in Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure while we are there.  I'll see ya when I get back.

Gina

We need to get together when you get back.  I am going to post the details in just a few.  Have a good time.

Thank you.

Yes, we do need to get together.

I have a medical question for you. Since my vitamin D is low, should I continue taking citracal? Calcium is not absorbed without vitamin D so is there a point in taking what my body cant use? I didnt think to ask the doc about it when I was there.

That is a very good question!!!   Dr.  Aldridge thinks that being you are doing the mega dose and sitting in the sun that you should continue with the calcium.  Now that is my opionon and I did not learn that in medical school when I got my PHD.  Did I spell PHD right?

I didn't know you studied "Parisada Hindu Dharma".

I'm confused about my vitamins. Where does the extra calcium go? If it is excreted through the kidneys can it cause kidney stones? I called the doc's office but of course no one has called me back yet and I'll probably be out of town by the time they do call.

If your Vitamin D is low, sit/stand/get in the sun for 15 min. a day with your forearms showing to help build up your Vitamin D levels.
In my clinical opinion, YES, continue to take your Calcium supplement, but I am not your M.D.  SO, please consult your M.D.
With love,
Your R.D., Jackie

HaHa see Jackie told you the same thing I did.   Yes that PHD comes in good sometimes.  Now I said sometimes.   OH and that petechia that I was having is just about gone.  I was back at the pool for a couple of hours yesterday, so we will see if it reappears.  Have a good time in Fla and get some of the Fla vitamin D.  It is the best.

You made me look

Yes you did.

You have a fantastic time, Gina.  Love ya!!!
