Yesterday I had an early morning appointment with my endocrinologist. It all went well and he says that my diabetes is under good control. My blood pressure, pulse, blood glucose, weight, and general health were all declared to be in good condition. My blood work also seems to indicate good stuff overall. He then said that he would like to mention a couple of small things because my health was so good that he needed to talk about  something . Why? Anyway, he said that he wanted to check on the condition of my liver through some type of diagnostic test the next time that my blood is taken due to one of my current test numbers. He told me that although I am at the tail end of the baby boomer age limit, he wants to check for something along the line of Hepatitis C. I was given a lot of blood in the hospital after my accident and as a result he wants to have me checked. I then reminded him that my liver was lacerated during the accident and that my numbers may be off a bit as a result....
