I hate going for blood work so I took the pre-surgery blood work sheets, and the ones that the doctor gave me back in November. I figured several were repeated and I could save money. But I really need to get a medicare supplement. I wish I knew someone who understands this shit. I don't know what to get. And my saving will be drained if I don't get something. I applied for FAP again. I was told they might cover 10% of the 20% not paid by Medicare. We'll see.
The hospital has an app. It is still encouraging me to get vaccinated. Even though my vaccine is in the chart. But that isn't why I hate the hospital app. Test results come back and I get them. I have no idea how to read them. I've been told not to by two doctors. That's why they went to medical school. But if you send it I look. Oh and the notifying email has lots of disclaimers. I guess it's to stop you from looking. The only thing that will do that is you stop sending me notices that they are there.
One set was bar graphs and the two ends are yellow and the middle blue. I figure that if I'm in the blue zone, I'm good.
The next set is all numbers. Some words I recognize. Like negative. I like that word. After months of stress eating and not exercising regularly they weren't pretty. My sugar was 101. My combined cholesterol was 250. All much higher than normal. YIKES. If the doctor wants to try and push drugs, I'll say no thank you. I can easily make this change by going back to eating better. Stop the 20 good/80 bad and go back to 80 good/20 bad.
The other numbers I don't understand. There's two that trouble me. I'll find out Monday at the doctor's when I go for my pre-surgery appointment. And I hope that these bad numbers don't jeopardize my surgery. Because I'm ready. And I don't think I'll go thru with it if it changes.
