Thanks, Lavender!

I just got back from my annual exam at my GP's office. He's always a nice guy! My blood test results were as expected. I still have high cholesterol and my triglycerides and glucose were slightly high, too. Last time my triglycerides and glucose were normal. I need to cut down on those refined sugars again! I asked him about a statin, and he explained why I don't need one at this point. He even ran some special calculation to show me my risk for a heart attack. It was 1.3%. He said my age (not that old), my normal blood pressure, lack of diabetes, the fact that I never smoked, and other factors make my risk low, despite my cholesterol. OK. Of course he did push me to diet and exercise more, as always. He's a really thin guy. I told him that I doubt he ever eats a donut. He said he doesn't. I've been going to him for 22 years. We were both youngsters way back then.

It's rather warm today at 51 F.
