HIV Stuff
Well I went in for my regular check on my stats. The good news is. The new meds have my numbers back up again. And my viral load undetectable. I also showed normal liver function from the Hep B. Now we're checking my viral load for the Hep. Also my weight is down a bit. Which is a good thing. I've been trying to drop some pounds. Been eating somewhat better cutting out junk food and such. And my weekly exercise of two stepping. And i'm sure I got lots of exercise at Lazy Bear walking around all over the place.
Bad news is. My cholesterol is way up. Up to the point where he was about to put me on Cholesterol meds yesterday and I pitched a fit. He said it could either be caused from age or a side effect of my new meds. We're betting side effect of the meds. Because I went from being totally normal two months ago to having high cholesterol. So now I really have to start eating healthier. Hardest part will be having to cut out fried foods and ice cream. Especially ice cream. And the other thing that will be hard to cut out is Cheese. I put cheese on everything. I'm under orders to eat more veggies, less dairy, more chicken etc.. If my cholesterol doesn't drop or return to normal in October. I'll have to go on Cholesterol meds as well. Oh great. One more pill to have to fucking take.
In other health news. It looks like i'll be going out of work again for about two or three weeks. I have to have some surgery. Without going into detail of what is wrong. I went to a proctologist about a year and a half ago about something. They did some lab work on me and took some biopsies. And test results came back negative for something. Since then it has become worse. My Dr. took a look yesterday and said oh no!! You now need surgery. So I have another appointment with a different proctologist on Wednesday morning. But it needs immediate medical attention. So I may wind up missing Harrison. Which sucks. I had a date for Harrison Weekend. Hopefully I can also get this taken care of before the school semester starts or else I may wind up missing this semester of school
