I received my blood work and echocardiogram results.

The echo, thankfully, is almost normal. One side has a slight backwash of blood, but it shouldn't be a problem, at least for now.

My red blood cells are literally twice as thick as the most acceptable level. No wonder I feel like I've got sludge in my veins! I can cut back on my B12 and Folic Acid and hopefully that will take care of that. I have to consult with my nuerologist on Tues., to make sure he's ok with me coming off them. He put me on the B12 for the head injury.

There were other problems, but the RBCs seem to be the most pressing and it can be fixed. Over all, that's good news!
