Last week after finding a walking route that would be two whole miles, I managed to do my walk for three days in a row. Unfortunately the third day I was wearing a different pair of shoes, and ended up limping one the mile back home. I had a toe joint that decided it was going to pop in and out of place. It would only hurt when I took a step with that foot. I began wondering if it might have been just a bit to far to walk, thinking walking to the post office and back should be enough. I can find a route that will make a round trip to the post office equal to a mile.
Monday I decided to skip my shower and breakfast, and head to the hospital for direct access testing. Get my blood work done, including testosterone. I had not been contacted since getting the prescription for 5 mg Rosuvastation back in October. Looking in MyChart, I'm not scheduled to to get a lipid panel until 4 years from now, as Medicare deems it unnecessary until then, unless the doctor insists it is necessary.
They had to send the one test elsewhere to have it done, but I should have the results in the mail by Friday. Some of the testing places would have you draw the blood at the local hospital, and then send the vials to their lab. I just found a lab that does Trans-wellness test. It would be a 60 mile drive to Alexandra MN.
