Danielle Rox
Danielle Rox… I just needed to tell you all how cool she is.. I mean, she’s bilingual, blonde, tall, very athletic, cute, smart, and one heck of a warcraft player.. When you see Danielle coming, you know you should just turn around and run… But even then she’ll get ya, cuz she’s just that fabulous. I sometimes think at night about how cool it would be if I were Danielle.. She’s my role model, you know. I even showed her my blonde highlights to her ( a symbol of my loyalty) but she just laughed. And that really hurt, because I just want to be like her, ya know? Anyways, you all should meet her. You’ll be amazed by her uber coolness and just feel compelled to giver her stuff like ipods, laptops, food, etc. Later, dudez, I’m going to go surprise Danielle by making her a gourmet lunch with cream puffs.. Because she deserves it so much.
Blood Work
I just got my bloodwork in from the Doctor and the lab, and it’s all normal. However, I don’t know what all of the categories mean, so I’m going to look them up and post what I find here:
Blood Cell Counts: Typically measured in thousands or millions of cells per cubic milliliter of blood, the White Blood Cell (WBC) count and Red Blood Cell count (RBC) measure how many cells you have. WBC reference range is 3 – 11 k /mm3, and RBC is 4.3 – 5 m / mm3.
Blood Cell Measurements: Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV) is the average volume of a single red blood cell, with a reference range of 78 – 100 fL. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin (MCH) is the average amount of hemoglobin in each red blood cell, with a reference range of 27 – 34 pg. Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration (MCHC) is the average concentration of hemoglobin in the red blood cells, with a reference range of 31 – 37 g / dL. The Red Blood Cell Distribution Width (RDW) measures the average variation in red blood cell sizes, with a reference range of 11.5 – 14.5%. Mean Platlet Volume (MPV) is a calculation of the average platlet size, with reference values from 7.5 – 11.5 fL.
Lipid Panel:
Cholesterol is a lipid primarily used in the cell walls of human tissue, but problematic in excess. Overall levels should fall under the reference limit of 200mg/dL. Cholesterol is divided into two types: low and high density lipoprotein, the latter of which is considered beneficial. HDL reference limits are over 39 mg / dL, with more than 20% of total cholesterol HDL. LDL reference limits are less than 130 mg/dL, with very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) in the range 0 – 29 mg / dL. For more, check out Cholesterol on Wikipedia.
Renal (Kidney) Tests:
Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) is a test that measures a waste product of protein metabolism, a kidney function. Reference values are between 8 – 25 mg / dL. Creatinine, is a chemical waste molecule produces from creatine in the kidneys. Kidney failure will cause creatine to rise in the blood. References values are in 0.6 – 1.0 mg / dL range. The ratio of BUN to creatinine should be between 10 – 28.
