So I had some blood work done and my Gamma GT levels in March were 282 they were checked again 2 weeks ago and like the rest of my health its 'Go big or go home!' So my Gamma GT levels came in at 1508. Now that's going big.
I'm not exactly sure what it is exactly they are responsible for other than they have something to do with your liver function. So, now I am letting them take more of my blood to screen for Hepatitis A and B and a bunch of other liver tests.
This scares me a little because at least I'm used to my cancer, I know the warning signs, i know when something has changed. But liver, I know nothing!
I'm also getting my eyes checked. Oi Vay!
I'm a Chappell, there's no doing anything half way.
Of course I'll keep everyone updated. I have an MRI on August 15 and I'll get the results on the 21st. So that will be an interesting month and should make for some decent blogging. Kinda boring with not much going on.
OH even bigger than cancer in my life. (Sad face) my daughter moved out with her boyfriend and now lives in a wee little place called Seton Portage. The wound is still fresh, she just left on Tuesday.
Thanks for all your prayers, please pray that Alex is protected and finds peace with God up there.
Thanks for your prayers and support. Even in our crap we have to remember where our hearts truly are and be grateful.

Yesterdays appointments
Yesterday I had not 1 but 2 appointments. Well I am going to be the smartest looking me I've ever been. It looks like I need corrective glasses. I have an appointment with an optometrist to give the final decision. I don't mind wearing glasses, I wore them when I was still driving to help me see better at night so I don't mind.
My neurologist's appointment was good. I've been having some balance issues and I've fallen in the night and not remembered how I got back into my bed. He actually named them seizures which he hasn't used that word before even after all those 'jello' episodes. My Lamotrigine (one of my seizure meds) has been increased by 50mg so hopefully it doesn't do anything to me physically. Its a very low increase. He checked my strength in my left side as well as my walking heel to toe. I almost fell over and overall my left side is weaker than the right but I already knew that. Sometimes, don't you think that you could teach specialists a thing or two or if they accepted what you said as right, they'd get through a lot more patients. LOL
My daughter has had enough of me and is moving out on the weekend of the 27th of July. I guess I finally drove her away. All joking aside. When she was hard to handle noone would take her, I couldn't give her away and now...
Ok this time for real, she is my precious treasure and is moving 5 hours away into the interior to rough it. The song I chose is an appropriate song for this stage in my life. Let's see where God takes me now. Please continue to pray for me and please pray for Alex as she steps into her own path.
Bless you
Me
