cholesterol screening!

Dec 01, 2009

I got the results of my follow up cholesterol screening and things are looking good!!

The numbers were not "that bad" before, but bad enough for the doc to put me on Simvastatin to try to get the numbers lower.  It worked

                            June 2009        November 2009

Total cholesterol        195                       172

HDL  (good)               47                           54

Triglycerides              64                         45

LDL (bad)                  135                        109


I have a follow up appt on Friday with the doc to see what, if anything, we are going to do.  I would assume that she will just keep me on the meds.  It's a low dose.  But, I am HAPPY to see the numbers and will be even happier to see her on Friday because she has not seen me since I was only a few months post op!
