I met with the NP this week for all my results and it was quite interesting. My total cholesterol was 159 which I thought was excellent considering I was in the 200ish range 5 years ago. She said she likes it a little higher because cholesterol protects the brain and immune system. Yeah, I’ll work on raising that right now – eggs and bacon anyone?
An for the fun part, the food allergy tests came back saying I was highly allergic to wheat, dairy, gluten, rye, lima beans (YAY!!!), eggs, egg yolks and almonds. So basically, I can’t eat anymore. I told her to pick one of those to start with and she said wheat. I am also going to take the blood tests for Celiac disease and see what we find there.
In other news, I have been busy planning a wedding. I are getting married in July. I have a site for the ceremony and reception. I have a photographer. I have a beautiful wedding dress that will be here on June 10th. I have flowers. And today we are going to the cake tasting! Sweet!

Oh boy, wedding plans.
I wondered where you’ve been lately.
As far as the allergies go, I’d be devastated if I were told not to eat eggs. Eggs make up a large proportion of my protein choices.
BTW, I just got back some Vitamin D results. I’m at 44 ng/mL now, when I was at 7.8 ng/mL in September. I’d say we’re on the right track. Yippee.
Be well, my friend.

Hey Lisa,
I am glad you finally got your vitamin D levels up there. The hard part for me was keeping them up there. Good luck. I miss you!

I’m gonna do my best to keep those levels up (and maybe even get higher.) Missed you too. I’m still ‘here’ just not going ‘there.’
Hey there’s a comment below from Terri who sounds like she’s seen the gown. Did I miss a photo someplace? Would love to get a peek…..

I think my mother spilled the beans to Terri.
Here is a link to the dress: http://watters.com/product.php?coll=wtoobrides&showid=908
I love it. Wedding planning is taking up a lot of time though. We are getting married in July so not a lot of time left. Right now I am in NY visiting Tom’s kids. Good time for a snow storm.

Congrats on the wedding.
I am afraid that when I get the allergy testing that I too will learn I am allergic to everything. I’m glad to use lack of funds as an excuse to put off learning more. I hated it when I tried cutting out wheat and diary since I’m vegetarian. I hope you have better luck.
