I called a week ago to make an appointment. The only opening they had was today, Friday, at 9:45AM. One day before the appointment for the check up. When she made the appointment the lady asked if I could fast until that late in the morning. Of course I said yes. I needed that test.

I was up at 5:30AM and made ham and eggs with fried potatoes and onions for Julie. Yes, I baked her biscuits which she enjoyed with honey. I drooled. My stomach growled. But I hung in there.
I did go to the doctor's office a bit early just in case. It worked. I got in a bit earlier than usual. The young lady who did the blood work up was up front pregnant--seven weeks to go but b i g ! She was very friendly and efficient. I managed to handle the urine in the cup through the pass through on my own. Then on to Cracker Barrel for a sunrise sampler. Yummy Yum!

Total cholestreol - 100/199, I was 119. Lower is better. Perfect!
Triglyserides - 40/149, I was 135. Higher is better. Perfect again!
LDL (bad) - 40/129, I was 43. A bit too good? Cut my meds in half, to 5ml of Corlestral.
HDL (good) - 40/59, I was 49. Right in the ball park.
YES, I MISPELLED EVERYTHING....TOO LAZY TO LOOK IT UP.
Didn't get my sugar work up yet. This morning it tested 121 with the ideal range being 90/120. That is pretty good. I'll be in the safe range when I see the doctor Monday.

God Bless!
