Perhaps because of the on-going struggle with my foot, receiving good news about my low cholesterol levels today from recent bloodwork done as part of a routine physcial was encouraging. Something is going right with my health. Here are the numbers:
Total cholesterol: 163 (under 200 rated desirable by the AHA)
HDL: 56 (50 to 60 is rated average)
LDL: 96 (less than 100 is rated optimal)
Triglycerides: 53 (anything under 150 is rated normal)
Here is a link that describes what the numbers mean.
