Getting better


Good news!  My medical conditions have been improving.  Here are the results of my tests last Thursday and the check up with my doctor yesterday.

Shrinking:

The ultrasound showed that the complex mass in my liver has been decreasing.  From 266 cc before I was discharged to 166 cc a week after my discharge to 105 cc another week after and, now, to 29 cc after another 2 weeks.

With this development, my doctor has already stopped prescribing antibiotics.

I'm still sweet:

The FBS test revealed that my sugar level has also reduced.  It's now 7.26 mmol/L (132 mg/dL) from 10.62 mmol/L (193 mg/dL) two weeks ago, albeit still over the normal range of 3.90 - 6.30 mmol/L (70 - 115 mg/dL).

My doctor maintained my medicines but advise me to be on diet.

Extra protection:

I also had a shot of Flu Vaccine.  The last time I had it was in 2009.

My next tests and consultation are scheduled a month after.  My fingers are still crossed.

Oh!  I forgot to ask my doctor If I could now drink!
