I Am Alive #7 - GREAT Lab Test Results!

I got my laboratory results from the tests I had yesterday, and I am VERY happy to see that most of my test parameters are within normal range!!! When I received the results, it really made me feel ALIVE and THRIVING, knowing that I have a big chance to improve myself from this point forward and that I do not have to undergo any serious medical treatments for now!

The only thing that the tests did not take was my blood pressure reading. So I borrowed a kit and tested myself, and lo and behold, it was just above normal! Nothing critical so far, and if ever my doctor advises me to take maintenance medications, I will happily do so, knowing that my readings are WAY BELOW critical levels, even if they are slightly above normal. I was advised to take readings three times daily, and I will.

From the blood test, the only abnormal results are the following, which are just slightly above the normal range (i.e. nothing critical): triglycerides, uric acid, and HBA1C (a more comprehensive test for blood sugar compared to the fasting blood sugar test).

Meanwhile, the hematocrit and monocyte results were slightly below normal, but are nothing to really worry about.

The rest of the results are normal, thank God! Some of these include fasting blood sugar, good and bad cholesterol, BUN, creatinine, SGPT and SGOT, the rest of the blood cell counts, urinalysis, electrolytes (sodium and potassium), and ECG.

Today I can happily say I AM ALIVE --- and not just alive, but THRIVING.

Thank you so much for the community's support!

Meanwhile, below is someone who is celebrating my good health with me. Nanaue loves normal blood, too. Nom nom!

And here is a Holy Grail that I also acquired yesterday, in celebration of my health: Jaime Reyes, the third (or so) Blue Beetle, from the DC Icons action figure line. He is possibly among the most powerful characters in the DC Multiverse. I am so happy that I just had to include him here, although I will feature him exclusively in his own post later.

Have a nice day!
