Confessions of a Liberal Puritan

Thanks, Kes! I got the results of my blood test yesterday, and they said my calcium level was at "9" (whatever that means), which is right where they like to see it, so I should keep on doing what I've been doing in the calcium department.

Meanwhile, I'm not noting much improvement from the stronger doses of Advair they gave me to try, as yet, but it's probably early days yet.

The doctor who called to give me my calcium results also reminded me to come in as soon as I started to have any asthma problems, rather than wait till they get so bad I have to be hospitalized (which is what seems to have precipitated my dangerous calcium deficiency in the Spring of '04, with the heavy prednizone treatments exacerbating an existing and unrecognized calcium deficiency). It's nice to be reminded that it's better to "waste" the doctor's time with a small problem than risk it getting to be a big one.
