We aren't talking about truth or facts right now; we're talking about pure logic.

Like, sure, maybe they wanted to trigger some big reaction from the EU, or the Ukrainians, or everyone else, or maybe they were trying to stop some sensitive info from leaking, whatever... honestly, these excuses sound just as ridiculous as the reasons given for why the Russians hit that same shack...

Happy New Year, everyone...

I’m hoping someone here might be able to help me out a bit...

For the last month or so, I’ve been feeling this weird pain—kind of a pressure—on the left side of my chest..
Since I beat Hodgkin’s about ten years ago, I definitely panicked a little and went to see my primary care doctor for a checkup (it had been a few years since my last one)..

The EKG, blood pressure, and chest X-ray all came back fine
My blood work showed some elevations, but the doctor wasn't really sweating it... she just told me to watch what I eat and come back in a month or two for a follow-up.
Now I've gone down the Google rabbit hole and I'm getting a little spooked, mostly because of those high basophil counts..
My blood sugar is also pretty high, which has never happened to me before..

I’d really appreciate it if someone could take a look at these numbers and tell me what you think:

Basophils 0.1 (ref. 0.00-0.06)
Glucose 7.7 (4.4-6.4)
Urate 504 (182-403)
ALT 64 (12-48)
GGT 76 (11-55)
Cholesterol 5.4 ( Triglycerides 1.9 (
I'm about 185 lbs, carrying an extra 20-30 lbs or so..

Thanks!
