Failed tests

Well, poo. Just got a call back from the doctor about the testing I had done yesterday. He said he’s not too concerned about the abnormally high BP (which came in at 140/90 on two separate readings), since my urine samples have come back fine, but he wants me to do a 24-hour urine sample. I was like “what does that mean?” And his response was: “Come by and pick up a container, and over a 24-hour period, you need to collect ALL of your urine.”

OMG. Basically, I’ll be peeing in a cup for an entire day. THAT is going to have to happen on a weekend, because I am not toting around a jug of my own pee, while at a client site. Not even for a day! Probably do it over the weekend.

The other item he called back about was my glucose levels. Failed them. My “before drinking the sugary stuff” level was 101, and they wanted it under 95, and my after was 166, when they wanted it under 140. So, gotta go back for the 3-hour test as soon as I can (which will probably be next week… I’m thinking Tuesday-ish).

Goodie.
