All my blood numbers were right within the range they should be. (Cholesterol and triglycerides were at the low end of normal; I presume my exercise helps control those. Sodium was the low end of normal but that probably makes sense given that I eat relatively little of it. Glucose numbers were right where they should be so maybe my diet is fine as it is, and the occasional indulgence of a couple teaspoons of Golden Syrup in my tea or the occasional cookie are not so horrible)
She was pleased that I tend to avoid processed foods in my diet and strive to eat my vegetables. She did remind me of planning a colonoscopy for next year but said doing it in the summer made sense given that you're out of commission for a day or so.
It will take me a while to get over being nervous. (And she wants bloodwork again in six months - no idea if this is a new thing, a "let's get back onto the schedule you used to have" thing, or a "I have a low-level concern" thing though I would hope if she did she'd have raised it with me, and as I said - all the numbers are relentlessly normal, and I have no symptoms of anything weird)
But yeah. Will take me a bit to calm back down to steady state. I need to do a little piano practice but then I am going to Sherman; there are a couple things I want from the Ulta and I haven't been able to get there for more than a month, and I suspect the new issue of the Brit-Knit magazines are out.
Edited to add, at about 10:45:
Dangit, I should NOT still be racing with anxiety. Everything was fine, I don't need to make any changes, I don't need to go back 'til February unless I get hurt or sick. I need to calm the heck down.
