this week

This week has been a pretty good week, I think. Well I guess overall it has been. Last Friday I went to the doctor for blood work and stuff. My A1C was great. Monday I get a call for me to come into the doctor's office for my test results. that sounded ominous. Usually I get the results over the phone. So Tuesday I went in . My cholesterol level was 229. Now I know that that is on the bad side but not generally a cause for alarm. In this case it was. My LDL was 199. that puts me in very high risk category for heart attack. I am now on Zocor to lower it.
Brook has been feeling a bit off all week. She has had a nagging cough. Last night it all came to a head. She started running a fever. It got up to 104.3 and broke. I am pretty sure it is just a virus. She is feeling tons better today.

It is a beautiful day today. Now if I can just get Pat motivated to get moving...

  1. You don't have much HDL at all, do you? I hope your triglycerides were OK. I hope the Zocor helps! It should :-)

  8. I hope Brook is feeling much better by now.  So sorry about your LDL being high.  I hope the ZOCOR is helping and that you aren't having any other problems.  Glad you had that bloodwork done, though.
