The Lab Test Results Just Came In

Tweet

It only takes about 10 hours from the time I have blood drawn until the time I get the test results. I really appreciate having a patient portal to check on things. While I had to look up what a few things meant, the overall results were GREAT! Even though I don't eat "healthy" like a "normal" person, I had perfect B12 and Vitamin D results. My cholesterol was perfect. My "bad cholesterol" was good. My "good cholesterol" was bad. My triglycerides were out of this world bad, I mean really, really bad. But then again they always have been. It's hereditary from my Dad. As you should have expected, my glucose (sugar) was higher than it should have been, but I still haven't reached "diabetic" range. I am; however, pre-diabetic. The two new ones that were out-of-range, like quadruple what they should have been had to do with Immature Granulocytes. Yeah, I didn't know what that was either. Something to do with bone marrow and white blood cells? Most probable causes are recent surgery (yes), inflammation (yes), stress (yes) or least likely cancer. I think the first three reasons are the right answers. So I think I'll live. Yay!
