while I was there getting labs drawn, one of the phlebotomists came up to me, and told me that she was a "psychic", and that I was pregnant.  she really FREAKED ME OUT! Not because shes a psychic, but because she said i was pregnant. All the other  phlebotomists kept telling me, that every person she has told that, has came back to tell her that she was right. So when I got back on the 29th, I'm going to inform her that she was WRONG. Talking about a relief! SSHHEEWWW!!!!!

 

Any who, my blood work was still stable enough to come down to 10mg of Prednisone. My MELD score is 15 right now. so that's still good for me. As long as it stays in the teens, I'm good to go. BTW, I list my lab results on here because i find them interesting for some reason. The numbers in red and blue are the levels of the tests, and the numbers in the parenthesis is the normal range they are supposed to be at. Blue numbers being "normal range", and red numbers being "out of normal range".

 

hope you have a wonderful day!
