Let's scare the shit out of Shoes

[Sensible Shoes]

:ATTENTION WHORE ALERT:
So I go in for routine bloodwork. They say the Liver enzymes are high, let's do the test again. Same result, let's do fasting bloodwork for the following: Isoenzymes, lipid panel, hepatic function and GGT. On the bottom of that order is written "please process ASAP".

SO, asshole that I am, I looked up these tests on the internet. It ain't pretty. Anybody have any background in this stuff, or am I going to walk around for a couple of weeks wondering if I have liver or bone cancer? I need a best case scenario.

Elevated liver enzymes could be a sign of many different things. Some would be very serious conditions, others less so. Speeding up the tests would be a good idea, just to make sure what the cause is, so you can act on it as soon as possible, since a liver that's not functioning properly is problematic in and of itself, even if the root cause is on the minor end of the scale.

Yes, thanks I get all my online information from Mayo or the NIH. Still a scary business.

Relax. I've had the same thing pulled on me by the HMO doc and after the test results came back, she offered "Lay off the artificially sweetened soft drinks and drink more pure water instead."

You'll be fine.

That's encouraging to hear. I can hope she's over reacting or being overcautious.

Well, it's definitely true that the liver isn't a big fan of either artificial sweeteners or high fructose corn poison. Since that shit isn't natural, the liver doesn't know how to metabolize it. Too much of that shit, and its the same end result as too much alcohol, Cirrhosis.

Without all the fun of getting there

Yes and yes. And generating some revenue as well. That's the game.

[Sensible Shoes]

Yes. I guess this is one of those "everybody tell me I'm going to be OK" threads. Sorry, my mind just always goes to the worst thing.

You're probably going to die based on your avatar... best case scenario is they remove your horns and huge pink scrotum and call it even...

That is all.

[Sensible Shoes]

Scrotum eh? Such a man thing. No she's ready to milk!

And it's not mine, I don't own dalmations.

I am hoping shoes gets good reports back from docs.

I wouldn't want to scare shoes out of her mind or her shoes or shit or her non Dalmation having AV,, but I would like to ask her to make me some sammiches, after giving her the best 90 seconds of her life, yes I would.

Cause, I am a giver.

As long as there are sammiches.
