Holding this mornings workout for tomorrow afternoon.
Had my 6 mo check with the Doc this morning. Had already had my blood and pee work done, along with a Chest X-Ray. Had an EKG done at the office this morning.
Here are the results. No problems found. I am really pleased with the results. I work really hard to get good results like this.
Total Cholesterol = 195
LDL = 114
HDL = 43
Triglycerides = 189
Fasting Blood Sugar = 88
PSA (Prostate-Specific Ag, Serum) 0.9
BP 120/70
Heart Rate 74
We did determine that I will up my Flomax from 4 mg to 8 mg daily and see how that helps my “having to go” problem.
I pointed out to the Doc my new friend, a suspected ventral hernia running downard from the bottom of my ribcage to just above my belly button. I don’t even know when this started I just noticed it one day when doing my ab workout. There is no pain or discomfort. The Doc is sending me to a surgeon for evaluation, however, his first thought is that they may do nothing at all, at least at this point. That visit to the surgeon is next Friday. I am really hoping we can just ignore this. That is how I like to handle most things.
Epigastric hernias are protrusions of fat or sometimes intestine through the abdominal wall between the naval and the breastbone.
Great report Terry! Congrats on working so hard to be healthy.
