This morning I saw my Primary Care doctor for a routine visit. I have not seen him since 1 month prior to my surgery. (Surgery was 12 weeks ago today.)
Results:
I am down 60 lbs!
My A1C (blood glucose) is down from 12.4 to 6.0! That puts me out of Diabetic status and into PRE-Diabetic status.
My good and bad Cholesterol are both completely normal.
My Vitamin D level is normal.
My blood pressure was 117/72.
He has cut my Metformin dosage in half. (Diabetes)
He has taken me off of the expensive - no generic available yet - Crestor for my Cholesterol.
He has taken me off my blood pressure medication.
He is scheduling me for another sleep test in 6 months to determine if my sleep apnea is cured.
He wants to see me in a month to check on whether anything else needs to change.
He printed out my lab results for me to put on the refrigerator. I love my Primary Care doctor! He spent 1 hour with me today just going over lab work and making changes to my medications. I never feel rushed or like he doesn't care.
Every time he said "Normal", his smile got bigger and bigger. He would always add - "for the first time" at the end!
Every second of regret is forgotten.
Every minute of doubt has been erased.
Every bad day is history.
I CAN do this.
And I WILL.
