Today I had to go in to the doctor to have blood drawn. One week from today I will get the
results. It will be interesting to see
if there have been any changes since last time I had blood drawn which was
August 8th of this year.
At that time I had been playing a LOT of disc golf – every night
if the weather held, because I was preparing for the Southeastern Amateur
Championships held over Labor Day at my home course in Orlando. It was the first time I’d seen my new doctor
after having had a kidney removed in April.
I had determined it was time for me to find a doctor who I was able to
communicate. Years of suffering with undiagnosed
kidney problems resulted in me losing my left kidney. It was clear I could not make that mistake
again. I only had one left.
My new doctor wanted to take me off of some of my
medications which she did after seeing the report on my blood work. Today’s blood tests will determine if
reducing my medications had any affect on my numbers – and if the change was
good or bad.
Next week Wednesday, I will go back in for a follow up with
the doctor. She will review the blood
results with me and we will see where we go from there.
Since August, I’ve begun full-blown training for 2014 worlds,
have been exercising like crazy, and have lost some weight. I’m very curious to see what affect that has
had on my numbers.
Stay tuned for the answer!
