Lab Results

I heard back from the 'lipid nurse' yesterday. No real surprises -- my triglycerides are not insanely high, just very high. Same for cholesterol. My LDL (bad cholesterol) count is 76, which is very good.

They set me up for an appointment at one of their 'lipid clinics' (no, I'm not making this up) in December. That's well and good, I told the nurse that my doctor wants to get my triglyercide count quickly so that it will be ready for my six-month evaluation in January. She said she'd get back to me. Still waiting.
