This isn't me, this is our neighbor girl Cynthia, but technically this is me today.
Struggling with winter, snow, doctors, pharmacy's,
and evidently - high cholesterol (?)
Some days just feel like a nose dive.
Sara had a cyst somewhere in or on one of her wisdom teeth, so they sent it to
pathology. I guess it is common. I hope she is alright. I still feel bad not being
there, but they can barely get around in a 4WD.
Schools are closed everywhere it seems.
I had the car parked in the alley and couldn't get out to get Rikki to the Dr. appt.
so I had a friend come and get us. Since we moved here I have been taking the
girls to a Physicians Assistant. She has been fine for minor things but I think we
are in the market for a new doctor. She just doesn't listen.
A doctor needs to listen.
And I hate to say it, but we are also now changing pharmacy's.
I know it sounds like I must have been in a bad mood or something,
but mood has nothing to do with it.
I just know when I am right and don't appreciate an attitude
when someone can't handle being wrong.
Where I get in trouble is not letting them get away with giving me an attitude.
I finished cleaning the basement and it looks super.
So, I was feeling a little better
but then I got the mail and in it was the results of my annual physical
that I have for work every year.
Everything was fine, but once again I am out of range for total cholesterol.
I am not sure what that means yet, but it also came back that way
last year.
I researched it then and came to the conclusion that it was okay, because
my good cholesterol was high and that made the total cholesterol high.
Now I am questioning that again, and need to research again.
What bothers me is the things they say a person can do to lower cholesterol,
I already do.
I am not overweight, I don't eat saturated fats, I am physically active, and I have
normal to low blood pressure. What the heck am I supposed to change?
I was going to sit down and pay bills this afternoon, but after the day I have had
I don't think I need to completely bury myself in the drift.
I think I will go join the girls. They are in my bedroom watching the movie
"Mermaids" that we just got from Netflix. Actually, that would be a perfect
movie to watch today.
Tomorrow I will pick myself up, dust myself off, and begin again.
Oh ya, I got my car dug out and parked out front, and that is something!

It very well COULD be your good cholesterol making the total high. They should test for good and bad. And then, some people just have high cholesterol by nature, no matter what they do.
Good on you for switching doctors! Not listening seems to be a common thing with the ones I have seen lately....
Oooo, doctors who won't listen make me sooo mad! I have a hard time finding Dr's for my kids because I think I ask as many questions as they do, and for some reason, they just don't like that!!!
My husband has high cholestrol, too, and they want to put him on meds - NO WAY!!! We're trying to do things the natural way, too, but some people are just prone to it, no matter what. Glad yours is the good cholestrol (as I read from your blog today). I hope his can turn good, too. His is b/c he gets so stressed, I think.
