Mom's doctor visit didn't go quite as well as the son's. I'm sure it didn't help that it had been so long since I had seen a doctor. I made sure to have everything I could think of looked at. I did learn that I have high cholesterol. I'm only 37. I think my combined total was 274. My "good" cholesterol was well...good. But my bad was high. Because my good was so good, it made the ratio in the acceptable range. I'm going to try some diet adjustments and we'll recheck it in 6 months. It has been a long day. I was at the doctor's office for almost 4 hours. Tis time for me to hit the pillow! Tomorrow I'll start researching cholesterol. I never thought I'd be doing that now.
