I returned to the pool on Thursday, and went through another low-impact class. I'd planned on walking a mile afterwards, but didn't follow through with my promise to myself. The next day, I wasn't feeling well, and things didn't look so good for the next few days. I had a physical coming up, so I just drank a lot of water for a couple of days, about four extra glasses a day, and things improved.
At the physical, it was pretty much determined that I had dehydrated myself for a few days and I had a slight allergy to something. My blood work looked good, except for a couple of things, one of which was a warning that if I didn't get my life in order, I could end up with type 2 diabetes type, and that my vitamin D was in the bottom of the tank, probably due to my being overweight. (I looked up everything on-line afterwards with a .gov website, so it all checked out.) So I'm to increase the protein and the fiber and continue drinking more water, and take 50,000 IU of vitamin D3 per week to get the "tank" filled. No lumps, no bumps, everything okay, referrals for regular mammogram and (nine years late, supposed to have had the first when I turned 50) colonoscopy. Check back in 6-8 weeks to see how the vitamin supplements are working.
