I know you're looking forward to some down time. I hope you can take advantage of your days off. Enjoy!

I got some blood test results back and the others are still pending (protein, PTH, D and zinc being the main ones missing that I can think of).

My corrected calcium is slightly below range STILL (it's 2.16 and norm is 2.2-2.6).  I'm kind of at a loss what to do re that.  All the calcium, magnesium citrate, boron, D, K2 and strontium and it stays the same!!  I hope my PTH is still OK - it was on the last set with this same calcium number.

B12 is >1,500 (they don't measure above that) and range is 150-650 - WTH!?  Guess I could drop to once a week on that one (I'm doing twice at the mo).

I have slightly high mean cell hemaglobin (32.8, normal is 27-32) and Google isn't helping me with what that means, so if you have any idea that'd be great.  If not, I'll do a proper post when I get more labs back.

Keeping my fingers crossed for low PTH. That would be great considering all the stuff you're taking. I would go to taking B12 every other day not just once a week. Could there be a difference due to taking serum versus whole blood?  The measures are different. My lab lists 33 as the top of the range for MCH. I think you're fine. You're doing a great job with your vitamins and minerals.

I take B12 only twice a week so going to every other day would increase it.  I get labs in November in King's college and I bet their ranges make more sense to me.  I'm unlikely to get the results before January at the rate they (I'll ask in the consult if I can get the results earlier without a letter).

You know it's bad when someone else references your donut addiction.  ROFL Susan  .

lol  I hope we don't get to you about the donuts. I know you have good portion control going on.

I thought the donut reference was hysterical. Had a real good belly laugh.  It really made my day.
