I had an appointment yesterday with an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor... I just had to put my ear ringing on the new patient form, so I got to take a hearing test (oh, boy!!!) but it went well and I am borderline normal/perfect.  The doctor that gave it to me said it was like having 20/30 vision.  Not quite perfect, but very close.  (and this wasn't even why I was there!)

I finally saw the doctor I was there to see.  He did an exam and determined that I will need a sleep study.  Due to a few issues (including snoring), I am not getting good quality sleep.  This may be causing some of my tiredness during the day, etc.  This wonderful sleep study is to be scheduled soon.  I get to sleep in a room they have arranged like a hotel room.  Well, I have spent quite a bit of time in hotels this year, so it should be natural now! :)

He also gave me a prescription for Flonase for nasal congestion.  I am pretty sure that's due to allergies, etc.

<hr />My last physical resulted in two no-so-bad issues:

1.) My LDL Cholesterol (the "bad" Cholesterol) was 113 and the doctor wants it under 100, so now, I have to take Lipitor in addition to the Tricor... 113, I thought, was normal... unfortunately, the government has changed the guideline to 100... Because it's necessary or because it'll sell more medication?

2.) My blood-sugar was 100, which is supposedly 1 unit above normal for fasting level... I am going to have to have it checked again.

In 6 weeks, I have to go back and get my Cholesterol and my blood-sugar re-checked.  Fun, fun, fun.
