New Meds

 So today I started the last of my new meds.  Got the Victoza and Levothyroxine.

Levo is very tiny.  I have to take it at least half an hour before I eat.  So, I decided to take it at about 6am.

Victoza didn't hurt at all.  That was nice.  I was expecting a more painful needle.  But I guess it's because I usually have blood drawn, and that needle has to be a lot bigger than the needle needed for a thinner (? phrasing) liquid.  I was very careful, since I expected more discomfort.  

So, now I have to get some more pen needles, which we might have, just have to find them.  Or get them from the pharmacy.  I might also stock up on alcohol wipes.  we have a box, but it won't hurt to get more.  

Mammogram later today.  

I finally looked at my numbers.  
ouch.
triglycerides are SUPER high.  526mg

HDL is at 40mg - low, but still in range.  

I'm a mess.

My blood *pressure* is lower.  But my pulse is still around 100 bpm.  Has been since my accident in 2016.  Just like my diastolic has been high.
