liver

i had my abdominal ultrasound today. it was fun. the gel was warm. i was worried it would be cold, but it was warm. the tech guy was nice. he let me watch the monitor while he did his business.

my gallbladder looks good. no stones. my common bile duct looks goood. my kidneys, pancreas, and spleen look good. my liver - not so much. i have a fatty liver. plus it's enlarged, though that could be normal for me.

what does this mean? i don't know. my preliminary research on the internet has revealed vagueness. having a fatty liver is not a good thing but it's not immediately threatening. it wants to get thinned. i see my doctor again next week and we'll talk about these things. i'm guessing it's mostly going to be a diet-and-exercise type deal.

i miss walking. i've been thinking about this. i used to walk all the time. ever since i started to drive, which i did quite late, at age 27, i've been driving places. over the last several years i've abandoned walking. i've got to start walking again.

i work from home, and my office is just a flight of stairs from my bed. so i already walk to work. ha ha. i need to start taking walks after work. i think i'll like that. mostly what gets in the way is the time factor. i'll need to make time to do this after work. just incorporate it into my day.
