Blood work

I took my 1 yr post-op blood work at a lab here in town for my appt next month with Doc Jones. I had them send a copy to my pcp as well as Doc Jones. I just went to an appt with my pcp and he gave me a copy of the results and told me that my blood work was perfect. He actually went on and on about how good my blood work was and that every single thing was great. That makes me feel good. And about the bruising that I have had lately, he said that it isn't my iron levels. I'm glad for that, so now it's basically just my age and the fact that there isn't as much cushion over my capillaries anymore. I'm just glad everything turned out so good.

Whoo Hoo!  You go, Girl. 

Johnna,

I remember hearing someplace that the reason we're always cold is because when we are morbidly obese, the body develops more capillaries to feed all the extra tissues. When we lose weight, we keep those capillaries, and so we lose more heat than other people. If we do indeed have more capillaries, that might account for more bruising too, which I do hear some of us complain about.

PS. If you want to go Saturday, I can give you a lift!!!

I do want to go but, I am so torn on what to do because we have so many problems with our house and we have sand and gravel to unload and spread out in the yard. Plus, we have things to take back to Sears (and you won't be there for me to say HI). Then have to order my daughters class ring and so much more. Since we've had no water this week, I have dirty dishes and laundry and house :( . We just don't have enough time to do it all this weekend. Let's ride together the next time ok? Also, Kim and I met for lunch with Alissa (pastorwilli) this week and had a very nice time. You will have to come along with us one of these days, ok?
Thanks again for the offer to ride with you.

That sounds great. Let me know when the next lunch date is!

that's great!

YAY!!

Good for you!

THANKS everyone!!
