I had my lab work done for my simi annual check up last Monday. The results are in. There were at least thirty tests performed on the blood work but there are only two that really concern me, Creatinine levels and A1c.

After many years of my A1c being 10+ or higher and 7.2 the lowest, I’m very pleased to announce that my A1c is down to 5.5. According to this report, I’m not even prediabetic any more. I’ll let the doctors decide when I see him on Monday.

My Creatinine levels are still dropping. My last labs from my oncologist three months ago showed my Creatinine was at 1.78. Today’s results showed them to be at 1.52. Still in class 3a kidney failure but it’s getting better.

This has not been a good week. Fluid started collecting in my body. Each morning I would weigh and the number would be two to three pounds more than the previous day. I had gained nine pounds before I was able to start back on my booster meds. With the booster, it was not enough to have a loss week.

On another note, I got some results from my oncologist the other day. One of the things they test is my creatinine levels. It has gone up in the last couple of months. This is not good. The higher the number the closer I get to dialysis. For those that don’t know, I’m at stage 4 out of 5 kidney failure. I have got to limit my salt intake otherwise I’ll be on dialysis three days a week. I do not want that.
