Medical Update

As for the medical update, they still think there is something wrong with my gallbladder after having an ultrasound done....although the ultrasound showed my gallbladder was fine....just one more test to determine if it is messed up or not. That is on the 24th of July.

Another surprising thing showed in the ultrasound.....I have a fatty liver....I know, sounds lovely....but I have it nonetheless. My liver is enlarged....the one thing that surprised my doctor was the fact that my cholesterol levels are so below the average, that I almost have a zero cholesterol count! That sounds great for the heart, but it is really bad for other things....such as your liver. So, when he tried to determine why it was so low and saw my liver, he had his answer. See, my liver isn't working like yours.....yours is taking the fat that comes in to it and is breaking it down into cholesterol which is then secreated in some way (another subject). Mine....well the fat goes in to mine and sits there....very little is processed and therefore, because there is so much in there, it has enlarged my liver. They call it fatty liver disease.....and there is no drug to help it! I have to exercise, diet, and lose 30 pounds at least and PRAY that it will take care of the problem - it is not a guarantee!! That will take me back down to high school weight which is good enough. If I don't take care of it, it could turn in to Hepatitis or cirrhosis which can lead to liver cancer. So, I am on my way to losing the weight....God help me! And I again, pray to God this works!!!! If not, I'm in trouble.

That's it for now! I'll let ya know about the hydrascan on the 24th if anything comes out of it.
