CBC is complete blood count and BMP is basic metabolic panel. it's to see your organs are functioning and salts/potassium etc are at correct levels. They often recommend you do blood work before your appointment=did they recommend you to fast? Mine usually has me fast-I can drink water but no foods.I just called and made my own follow up doctor appointment. It wasn't too hard. I hate talking on the phone though, I wish they would do it online.
The appointment is Wed at 10:15am. Then it says I have lab work on the same day, so I guess they will tell me where to go after the appointment?
What does Lab Work 9/18 CBC + BMP mean?
you read my mind lolIf you haven't already, ask the Dr.'s office if it's a fasting blood test. A lot of them are.
My thyroid test is always a fasting test. Is this what a BMP test is?you read my mind lol
No. The BMP is metabolic test-the levels of salts/potassium etc and liver/kidney organ function=that's where you find out your BUN levels for your liver. For one example.My thyroid test is always a fasting test. Is this what a BMP test is?
Nodid they recommend you to fast?
The scab fell off one part and it felt wet. I was freaking out thinking my guts might spill out. So I put some aloe gel on it.How is the pain from your surgical site? Hoping it's getting much better than the 1st week.
No, your 'guts' will not spill out.. The incision is healing from the inside out..The scab fell off one part and it felt wet. I was freaking out thinking my guts might spill out. So I put some aloe gel on it.
They might have tasted better if they had remained frozen until microwaved. Thawed I would heat them in a frying pan with a bit of orange juice, butter, brown sugar. Or you could also just microwave them in water.How do you cook thawed frozen carrots? My mom insisted on cooking mine and they were so horrible I almost couldn't stand it. She said she just sprinkled a little water on the them and microwaved them. Should they have been covered in water instead? I really need to learn how to cook because that was revolting.
Wouldn't brown sugar taste better? I absolutely hate carrots (except in carrot cake), so I'm actually asking.Fresh carrots come small and peeled in packages. You can eat them right out of the bag or boil them in water with a little sugar. Learning to cook yourself will prevent your mother from controlling your food, so give it a try.
I'm trying, but she still insists on cooking for me. Her cooking is getting so bad. That's why I think there is some Dementia going on there. She used to be a pretty good cook when I was a kid and teenager. Now it's inedible, like I actually feel like vomiting it up.Learning to cook yourself will prevent your mother from controlling your food, so give it a try.
I'm really tired, but I'll try.I’m so proud of you! Lion heart! Keep roaring!
Figures I would pick the worst frozen vegetable. But I would have cooked them totally covered with water. She just sprinkled it on, so that made them dry and inedible.Frozen carrots are terrible. I don't know why. Most veggies freeze fine. But not carrots. You can use frozen carrots in soups or something but they just aren't for eating plain.
It's a form of control, she's trying to control you which is why you need to get well so you can continue to assert yourself. You are strong and capable of breaking away from her manipulation. I realize she's your mom and it's not easy because you obviously have feelings for her but, if in fact, she's in the beginning stages of Dementia it will only worsen. Keep the lines of communication open with your brothers so that they can step in if need be and, most of all, continue to heal.

M maggiedemi When you get on your feet and on your own, if you need suggestions about cooking, I can help. I love to cook and everything I make is simple and healthy. *And as you know, I am very frugal. I spend about 1/3 the reported "average" per person per month for this area, and I eat very well. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and a little tuna once in awhile.*I'm trying, but she still insists on cooking for me. Her cooking is getting so bad.
