Sure, medical records are Confidential Information, but, hell, I'm bragging! Besides, I've worked hard for over two months now, changing my diet, going to Cardiac Rehab at 7am 3 mornings a week and working out on treadmills. Plus I've lost at least 15 pounds. So, here are the results of my blood work:
Desired Level Bob's Level
Total Cholesterol Less than 200 97
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Less than 70 39
Bad Cholesterol
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Greater than 40 42
Good Cholesterol
Cholesterol/HDL Ratio Less than 4.5 2.3
Triglycerides (A form of fat found in food) Less than 150 106
So....Thank You, .....Thank You.......I can hear the applause building. Shucks, it was nothin. Now, hopefully, when I go to the Cardiac Surgeon he'll take me off a lot of this medication I'm on. Besides, the less medication I'm on, the less guilty I'll feel when I forget to take those damn pills in the evening.

I'm taking a little plug for myself here...of course you got A's. When you ask if we're having fries for dinner I say NO, that's not healthy. And we have baked sweet potatoes instead. And don't you dig those turkey burgers?? But I've got to hand it to you, you're doing great, great, great!!!!
Way to go! Lots of work involved, all the way around. We should all follow that routine!
very good news Pop.
