While I make and receive these calls the lorikeets are nesting for the night, There is a cacophony of noise and the parrots seek refuge in the trees for the night, that all but drowns out conversation
The results of the first of the barrage of tests ordered by the doctor on my visit is finally in and i have been summoned to the medical centre to discuss them. I can see it now, your LFTs are alarmingly high, your cholesterol is on the high side etc etc.
The LEFT’s I suspect will be normal for me. One of them does not like life. Instead of being in a range of 50 -150 it is often around 400, but the others are always in the required range. When the discussion turns to cholesterol there will be the debate over statins versus this LFT because in the past any attempt to medically reduce the level has resulted in a corresponding increase in the LEFT marker. My last visit to my family doctor suggested we do nothing, the cholesterol level was not “ridiculous” and my blood pressure was 130/85.
The markers around the errant numbers were fine.
