Lipids

March 18th, 2009

I got a call from the doctor’s office.  I went in on Saturday and had a fasting blood test.  Results are in and now she wants to talk to me about my lipid panel.  Ugh.  My appointment is Monday afternoon.  It’s the earliest they could get me in.  I know I have been borderline high cholesterol for a while but no one really ever talked to me about it.  They just sent the resuls and said you should try to improve your diet and exercise.  So, I know after Monday, I will have to be good.  She already wants me to drop 20 and exercise and that was BEFORE the blood test.

    So good that you are taking care of your health. I have had high cholesterol and high blood pressure over the last years, and just dropping a few pounds brought the bp down a lot. You’re right, unless you ask your doctor about the cholesterol, you can go quite high and you just get diet advice. I’d rather do the diet than take the pills, because I see how my mother has sixty two bottles of pills on her side table, and I don’t want to go that route - but in retrospect, it would have been nice to know that the health care professionals took it seriously. Learned a lesson there, I did - you have to be your own advocate.
    Have a great week ahead Bobbie!
