I forgot to mention in the last post that I got my blood test results in the mail the other day. My Cholesterol is still high but it has always been so I'm not worried about that. I won't take any of those Statin drugs and have my legs feel weaker. I'm weak enough. My Hemoglobin is low but not that much. It's 11.0. The bottom line for that is 11.8. And my MCHC is low also. That's in the same category. 31.2 and the bottom line is 32.0 so I'm not that much off to worry about anything. My Creatinine, Serum is low also at 0.31 and the bottom line on that is supposed to be at least 0.50. That might have to do with my muscles though. I don't have good muscle on any of my body. The Carbon Dioxide is high at 33. Shouldn't be over 32. Not enough to worry about. That's probably because I don't breathe right or take deep breaths. Can also be caused from taking laxatives, which I do.
Everything else is within the normal range.
Now for the CEA levels that are markers for cancer spreading. Last year my numbers were between 5 and 6. Normal is supposed to be 0-3.0 for non-smokers. Well. Mine has gone up to 28.6 now. So I guess the cancer is spreading but that's to be expected. I won't know anything else till I go to the doctor's on the 21st and he lets me know what my options are for the Colostomy.
I haven't been feeling that well. I feel as if things are changing for the worse. Am too achy to even go out and my legs hurt a lot. But I get by one day at a time. If I do need something at the store my daughter will get it for me or my sister, Jeanne.
The rain has finally stopped and we are having a beautiful weekend for a change. It was 70 today but will be cooler the rest of the weekend. Nice, clear, blue skies though!!
Oh! I have a stray black cat that showed up yesterday. I saw it out there eating the nuts and it is so skinny. I can see it's bones. Someone must have dropped it off and it wandered over here. It won't go away and slept under my bedroom window all night and was right there meeowing at me when I went to feed the squirrels this morning. So I made extra scrambled eggs and gave her some. I put fresh water out there also and she drinks a lot of that. Poor thing. If she's still here on Monday I will call the Humane Society to see what I can do. I know they really don't want to be bothered but maybe someone will come and get it. I can tell it was used to being inside. It wants to come in all the time. My bird is petrified that I have a cat that close and I'm talking to it..Ha! Ha! He will just have to get over it. It doesn't even care if the foxes are out there or the skunks. I was afraid the skunks would spray it. I hope not. It's always something around here.. At least it keeps my mind off other things.
Got to go. Getting tired of sitting here and I ache in my rectum. Tylenol just does not do any good at all. I really need the Ibuprofen because it cuts the inflamation. Tylenol is just for pain and fever.
Take care everyone.
