I am pretty sure everyone has been sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for my blood results. So this is what happened. On Monday, I still hadn’t heard from my doctor. I called around 4:30pm. The receptionist said the doctor would call me with the information. I said he could leave me a message since I’ll be in the subway, unless of course it’s “bad” news. I went straight to the gym and did my cardio. I love leaving work at 5pm now. This means I beat the “rush” at the gym. I didn’t even have to wait in line to use an elliptical. Usually I have to wait a few minutes for a free one when I leave work at 5:30pm. I was back in my apartment by 6:20 pm. I get a call from the doctor at 6:43pm. He tells me that I’m “perfectly normal”. Since I’m paranoid I asked if there was anything that I should be watching out for? Then I asked if I could have a copy of my results? He said he could fax them to me or I could pick it up. I then asked what time they close. He said 7pm. I said this was perfect that I’d come by right now. I ran over there in my sweaty gym clothes. He had my copied results ready. Perfect!
I read my results to my mom. She was happy. I bet a little jealous! So my cholesterol is 176. I still think it’s kind of high, but I guess it’s not too bad considering my family’s history.
I had my dental check-up today. I’d love to say everything was good, but I guess I’m not that lucky! I have three small cavities. As usual, the dentist asked me if I was flossing. Was he waiting for me to say, “No, I never floss anymore. I like to leave gunk in my weak enamel teeth.” Oh well. Also, he said that he didn’t like the crown on my root canal. It may have to be replaced. With insurance it could be up to $490! I better start saving up for that!
Jeff told me that I should be happy that I have insurance to help pay for these things. Oh I am grateful! Otherwise I’d be literally broke or I’d be without teeth!
I’m going to go read my Shape magazine.
P.S. DHL is on my blacklist with FedEx. I had them update the address of a package yesterday. I confirmed with TWO different customer service representatives. This morning, I get a call from the delivery guy and he is at the OLD address. I tell him that I called the day before about the new address and he said he saw no note of this address. He said since the new address isn’t in his delivery zone, it’ll have to be delivered TOMORROW. Ugh. This is crazy because this package was shipped out of Manhattan on Monday. I could have delivered it faster!
