Another grand motivator

You know it's going to be a GREAT day when you get called a "fat fuck" by a homeless lady.

I have ANKLES!

The "C" has been removed! Thank you high blood pressure meds! And thank you Karen Lee for introducing me to the FitBit! That little device might actually be a lifesaver.

Ooooooooh! Pretty kidneys. Oh. Fatty liver.

I've been putting off going to the doctor for about six years now. I made the call a few weeks back and scheduled a full physical. The test results are in! My liver enzymes are elevated - both ALT and AST. This prompted my NP to order additional blood work and an abdominal ultrasound. The second liver panel showed even higher ALT and AST values...even after nearly a week and a half of no alcohol. The HORROR! My ultrasound revealed an enlarged, fatty liver and I immediately received an email message from my NP through UCSF's MyChart site with "DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL. EXERCISE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN."

Message received LOUD and CLEAR.
