I got the official results from my blood work from nearly a month ago. The final report:
1. I’m clear of Hep A & E and HIV
2. My liver enzymes are slightly up, but not by much
3. My CO2 is slightly high – I think that comes from not exhaling enough when I’m swimming (Or whatever. I really have no idea and the report wasn’t very helpful)
4. My cholesterol is down from 214 two years ago to 178.
So, good news all around.
Friday morning I got up early and went for a swim. I hit the pool about 6 am and swam 24 laps. No record set – but this was a first for me. And likely the last – it really wore me out and then I had to go work for 8 hours.
That afternoon we had our service recognition awards reception. I got my 15 year, one of my co-workers got his 5, and my boss got his 30. The speeches were maybe a little much and it dragged on a bit – but the desserts were excellent. Still waiting on the “small gift” I’ve been promised. Hope it’s not another paper weight.
I went and saw my family for Easter weekend. We didn’t really do much – mostly just playing games and had fun with my niece. She’s got a big wheel that she loves to ride and is really into coloring in her playhouse in my parent’s back yard. She talks up a storm and is always busy doing something.
I’m back to work today and hoping things go quickly. I’ve got some yard work to do and a bit of laundry when I get home. And I should really get some groceries as well.
