Latest Visit to Dr Duck

I was stressing out over this morning's visit. Today I was to find out if I was still pre-diabetic or if I've been bumped up to full blown diabetic. I wanted to ask if my cholesterol was OK, since he didn't even mention it at my last visit, or if it still needed some work. I needed to tell him I want to know if I have hemochromatosis or not. That fact that the iron levels in my blood are currently OK doesn't mean I don't have this hereditary disease. I'm relieved to announce that I'm not diabetic. I'm not even pre-diabetic. Whew! My cholesterol is just fine but I was so thankful to hear the good news I completely forgot to ask him about the hemochromatosis. Oh well, if my iron is fine then there is no damage being done to my organs so there's no rush. Dr Duck did remind me to make an appointment for my yearly physical which hasn't been done for three years. Since he's no longer harping on my weight I suppose I could let him have a little peek at my naked body. January should be a good month for a physical and I'll need my prescription renewed by then so I can kill two ducks with one stone. It's been brought to my attention that I ramble on a great deal when I'm tired and since I haven't had a solid six hours sleep all week I suspect I'm beginning to ramble now so I think I'll just stop here and go have a nap before I pick up The Four Year Old from day care. ZZZZZzzzzz......

Great news that you don't have to worry about diabetes or high cholesterol. Next time write on your hand to remind you to ask about the hemochromatosis.

I like that pun about killing two ducks with one stone!

I hate going to the doctor. He's always on me about my weight. He's right of course and I should try harder. But he needs to take a good look in the mirror...if he can find one wide enough

Is he just doing the Fe tests or the gene too?

That's good news.

My blood is being checked for the HFE gene this week.

Hope you get some sleep ... and exercise.

Good news. I hope that you continue to feel well and get a little more sleep, please!
