Got my bloodwork report in the mail yesterday. I was crestfallen when I read "Total Cholesterol---238." Damn! That's higher than it was when I started on this weight loss/exercise/Crestor regime!
Then I looked again. The number was actually 138. Yipee! Yahoo! Hip, hip, hooray!
Here's the good news, compared to the May numbers:
May July
Total Cholesterol 225 138
HDL (Good) 49 52
LDL (Bad) 150 69
Triglycerides 129 86
Blood Sugar ? 104
These are all within the desired range, aside from the blood sugar, which the form letter says should be from 80 to 100mg/dl. I think that used to be a high of 110 or even 120. Anyway, all this just reinforces my determination to finish losing the weight, then keep it off.
Thanks to Frank D. next door, the new hoses and nozzle are now hooked up and I can water the flowers before they thirst to death.
I was proud of the fact that I was able to fix the shredder, which had jammed. Used the letter opener, a sharp knife, and tweezers to laboriously extract the paper jamming it, but it now works. Being a born klutz, I got a lot of satisfaction out of it.
Jen called and I'm happy to say Joely can come down, although she wasn't sure his cousin, Gabe, can come. Alison will bring him/them down and we'll go swimming and so on. Should be a fine day.
