The doctor said ...

that my results are in ... remember, a few days ago- I posted that I went for my physical exam and they did a bunch of tests on me ... well, results came and my pap smear was normal - good! My blood work was messed up though ... nope ... they didn't mess it up - I did. I have been a bad girl! Not watching what I eat - result - High Cholesterol, High blood pressure ... diabetes ... yikes! Anyway, my OB GYN said that I have to go see my regular physician so they can tell me if I need medication for my blood pressure and cholesterol - I also am a higher risk of a heart attack.

Well, my husband (a respiratory therapist by profession) gave me the looooong sermon of how I should eat better .... take care of myself, exercise .... and I agree. I have been BAD - negligent - I have been selfish - not thinking of my kids' and hubby's future if I get sick ... I am going to see the doctor tomorrow - I am soooo nervous - I will find out what I need to do or take to fix "me". Next week though - I still need to get a pelvic ultrasound ... *sigh*

This again my friends is a reminder ... go see your doctor and have yourself checked. Just because you feel OK - does not necessarily mean that you are healthy. My husband looked into my eyes last night and said ... "I thought you promised that we were gonna grow old together? Then, why aren't you taking care of yourself?" I must admit, it brought tears to my eyes ...
