Liver

Went to the doctor - just for a check-up. Overall, I seem to be pretty healthy. She took blood to check my white cell count and liver enzymes. My liver has always had elevated enzyme levels, and I've been going back and forth with my doctor about this. At one point I had to see a specialist, but he didn't see a problem, so that got her off my back for a while. Lately she's been starting up again and I just haven't had the energy to deal with it on top of everything else. But, since I would like to have kids in the next 5 years, I agreed to follow up if they come back elevated again. Hopefully they won't, and this whole issue will be moot. I'm curious to know what my cell count will be. I haven't had it tested in a while. The "normal" level is 4000 to 10800 cells per microliter of blood. Even on a good day, mine don't get over 3000. As long as it doesn't dip below 1000 - I'm good.
