This week was my annual visit to the Doctor for the "dreaded yearly physical" . I don't know why I dread it so much; it really is quick and re-assuring. My Dr. is a fantastic young woman named Lindsay Teel, she is a nurse practitioner in family practice. She is gentle and so thorough in her exam. She doesn't make me feel like she is too busy to answer my questions or any concerns that I might have. We talked for quite a while as she answered several questions I had and I am pleased that I passed with flying colors on my E.K.G. and blood work and pap test and all over physical. Lindsay was a little concerned with my level count on my triglycerides. Even though I eat lots of fish, she wanted me to go on a higher regimen of omega 3 to help lower my triglycerides, I was taking fish oil twice a day and now I have these huge capsules that I take 4 times a day.. She said many people are pre-disposed to higher levels so this should help lower them. I have my mammogram & bone scan next week..This week is my Holiday Planner class at my home and I'm very excited to teach it. I have 6 coming to take the class, so I am getting everything prepped and cut ahead.
