Additional labs from the doc have come back as normal. Liver labs have returned to normal but we will be keeping an eye on it for the time being. Change in diet (again) and more hiking along with the metformin has resulted in good cholesterol numbers. I am off of the statins and refuse to go back on them. I did not want to go on them anyway because they have some really bad side effects but did so for a short time to humor some others. NEVER AGAIN!

I intend to celebrate tomorrow with a day of catching gills on the lake. Anyone that wants to go with me can meet me at west boat launch of Little Buffalo State Park. If you can't go know that I will be thinking of you the whole day!
