Thank you for that info. She is at 73. Apparently it was also low the last time she had a CBC but her doctor didn't follow up on it.

Ok, me again. I have been out and about and got dog food, did my walking at the gym and went to the studio. Finished uo a few things. But before I went out I started lentil soup in our new slow cooker. The old one had a broken handle and tried to scald you every time you opened it. So we shall see how this new one works. Just vegetables and lentils. Maybe toss in a can of tomatoes in a bit.
Sounds like all are having a good Saturday. DD your "rounds" sound pleasant. Any good bargains?
Peps any weight uptick for you is muscle!! You have been a gym rat all week!
Paula more people need to take character building classes. A good thing.
Well I got some of my list done today. But the day is not over.

Hey Liz, so cool to learn of your DD's surprise visit. Way to go, Mike.
Wanted to tell you that 6 or 7 years ago I had a bout with low platelets. I did not feel bad. Mine was 60 when normal is 150. I was sent to the hematologist who ordered various blood tests. Several visits and several rounds of blood draws eliminated all the possible awful diseases and it was concluded that it was low platelets of unknown origin. A couple of weeks of oral steroids fixed it. This occurred during the worst of my dealings with crazy Pat and I am convinced that the stress levels at that time were the cause. I am fine now. Had one slight recurrence that only needed monitoring. Today my platelets are 160 and I am cleared to donate blood.
So just sayin' it could be a nothing burger. Hope so.
More later

Liz, I can feel your joy! And sometimes you just need to be able to hug them and gaze at them, especially when there are health concerns. What a fun weekend you'll have! How did DH manage to keep your calendar open this weekend without making you suspicious?
Thursday night we had a nice evening g at the last of our Pub Nights for the season. It was a long day though. I left the house at 7am, and didn't return until 9:30 pm. I worked, then conferences, then straight to the venue where I met up with DH and our friends.
Yesterday I used a sick day to meet with the Surgical Weight Loss clinic I use. If they prescribe Wegovy, they want to see you every 6 months. They do order bloodwork frequently, and follow ups if something looks wonky. Like 6 months ago my copper was high, so they wanted to check it again, a d yep, now normal. I like the monitoring, but it can get expensive, since I have a 20/80 plan. Expense off set by the fact that I pay about $27 a month for my prescription.
After my medical appointment, I drove out to my niece for my hair appointment. Feeling fresh. :)
Today we went for coffee, cruised St. Vinny's and now we're home. There are many chores I could do but I started a book last night I must finish. I am very unmotivated lately, both at home and work. I don't think the spring forward is going to help energize me!
Thank you! Your reply made me smile inside and out.
I forget that my schedule is often much more than "average".
I feel peaceful reading you have an unscheduled weekend. Your typical schedule is often a !ot! Enjoy some flex time .
My ****tail of choice lately is a French 75, but I also enjoy a Paloma from time to time. Sounds like a fun night.
212.4 My body had damn well better start cooperating! This uptick is no longer bueno by me! But again, all I can do is keep on keeping on. I'm not over eating, so I just have to roll with it.
Liz, what a fabulous surprise!!!! DH is a good secret keeper! Have a wonderful weekend with your daughter!
It is a gorgeous, clear, sunny, crisp morning here. To repeat myself: my favorite type of day during the early spring!
Brag for the week is that I hit the gym each evening M-F this week.
A rare unscheduled weekend for me. I've been sipping coffee, net surfing and doing not much else since I got up after sleeping until 7:30. Soon it will be time to feed the dogs, feed myself and pick some projects for the day.
Hoping for a Satisfying Saturday for me!
