Doctors visits and more tests

We both visited our regular doctor for our annual physical on Tuesday after we returned from a weekend trip to Canada at Mary Louise and Ken's cabin. (More on that further down.) We got the results back today. In a nutshell, he told us whatever we are doing, keep doing it because our results are good. My lymph counts are a little low so we will have to find a way of working on that. Lymph count is your killer cells. Being low is probably the reason this virus in my throat keeps lingering on. Patti needs to cut back on the bananas as her potassium was high. I dropped 70 points on my cholesterol by 70 points from just a few months ago. HDL and LDL are within the OK range.

I went for another nutritional IV today and it gave me a lot of pep. I have been dragging after driving nearly 3000 miles from Monday to Monday. Visited a job site in southern Ohio, Yorktown, Virginia and then up to Canada and back.

Canada was great. Did about 60+ miles on the four wheeler and caught some nice walleye. Had a good meal of fish on Sunday night. I am happy to say this time I did catch the biggest. That is not always the case but this time I lucked out. The weather was nice for Friday, Saturday and most of Sunday. It rained Sunday night and Monday morning until we left. On the way in to the cabin we saw a black bear and got some photo's and a movie. On the way out we saw a bull moose and again got some pictures and a movie. We also saw skunks at the cabin, grouse and her young while four wheeling and a huge "crane" that must have had a wing span of 7 or 8 feet. Ken thought that it was a deer at first running in front of us then it took off.

Well, Patti informs me that it is time to put the bikes on the back of the car and go to the park for some exercise. I will try and post the pictures of Canada later.

Please continue to pray for my health to keep improving and my killer cells levels to come up. I will have a PET/CT scan sometime next week to check. I just wanted it for a marker to go by on how things look. Pray for me for that too. I hate that test.
