I had an appointment with my doctor this morning. Found out that the x-ray of my elbow showed nothing wrong with the bone... so he did a couple more things to test and said that I have "tennis elbow" and wearing my wrist splint will help the elbow by keeping the wrist still and not moving the muscles and tendons up to and in the elbow area. I had noticed that over the last few months, that whenever I wore my wrist splint for the day in the evening my elbow wasn't hurting *quite* as much as it would on days I didn't wear my wrist splint. So that mystery is solved. ;o)
My blood work showed that my sugar is normal, thank goodness (my oldest sister has diabetes, and I didn't want it on top of everything else I have). However my cholesterol is a bit high. He told me he could give me pills to help it. I asked how I could get it under control without pills and he said I would have to not eat any fat, exercise more, and lose weight. Yeah... like I haven't tried to lose weight for years without any success.... but, I guess if I don't want to have to take more pills, I am going to have to work much harder at it and see if I can get it under control myself. But.... there are so many foods that I like that have fat in them. :o/ *sigh* So with the Diverticular Disease needing more fiber, and now with the high cholesterol needing no fat... I am going to have to *try* to eat a high fiber - no/low fat diet. Jeesh, I can't have ANY fun! LOL
Well, I'm off now. I promised Matthew that I would make my Dad's recipe for sukyaki sometime this week and haven't gotten around to doing it yet. I have all the stuff needed, just need to muster up some ambition to do it. ;o)
I'm not sure when I'll be on again... sometime within the next week I would hope. So, take care and keep smiling! :o)
