BuffyBear's Journal, 03 August 2013

Here I am for my Saturday check in with an update on cholesterol.

History: Went off my cholesterol meds last fall about the same time I went off my diet (bad, bad timing). Had cholesterol test done in February (bad, bad results).

Now for the good news: New test shows my LDL has fallen 20 points! Can't begin to tell you how encouraging this is because it shows that even my halfhearted efforts in eating healthy paid off in a big way. Just imagine how healthy I'd be if I gave it my all! And that is exactly what I am going to do.

So while still struggling I am occasionally coming up for air. I'm going to make it!

Great job, Buff! You reminded me too to get a checkup. I just dread going to the doctors. They are never happy with my results. What do they know? ;)

Mom - Maybe you need to switch doctors. My doctor looks at my "profile" instead of a "one size fits all" number. He feels meds should be a last resort.

I will be switching doctors as ours is leaving the area. He wants more out of life then what he found in Narnia, I guess. LMAO! I will see who I get next in the clinic. It is full of practitioners and a couple of family doctors now. People around here seem to appreciate the nurse practitioners more than the doctors. LOL!

Good job on the LDL. It pays to take good care of our health doesn't it. Thanks for getting me thinking again.
