Have the results of the blood tests. Everything was spot on except for Vitamin D levels. The doctor prescribed mega-doses of D for the next two months. Meanwhile I will increase my intake of foods that have D in them already: Salmon, Chicken, Spinach, Beef, Lentils, Pork Chops, and Fortified Cereals. Sunshine is the primary thing that will help with Vitamin D production.
My blood pressure is slightly high. So I need to take steps to lower it. Changing my diet as already specified will help. My BMI is 30.9. That means I need to lost 43.7 lbs. There is a Planet Fitness nearby, so I will utilise it via a membership. I need to be active and exercise: cardio five days per week and strength training two days per week. Each of those daily will take 30 minutes of actual workout plus “warm up” and “cool down” times.
My doctor sent out a referral for a Sleep Study. We shall see what all that entails and whether or not I may need a CPAP machine. I am hoping that I will not need one, at least not permanently. As my health improves, I am sure my dependency on such a machine will decrease.
Until I get everything under control, I will need to devote uninterrupted attention to my health. It is indeed true: If you don’t have your health, then you have nothing. As a consequence, I am officially moving all of the author deadlines one year further into the future. I hate to do this, but I would rather have more time than not enough. This also gives time to fully prepare for an improvement in my health and for a much more relaxed mental state (less stress).
This is the sum total of my latest update. It could have been worse. With what I now know, I can improve my personal health. Who knows that else is lurking out there. I figure this way if my health does indeed improve, then I will be able to fight off anything yet unknown that may attack my immune system. I wish you all the best and I will be in touch. đ
