I just counted up the days since my 59th birthday and came to realize I was a bit off in naming these posts. As of this one, I'm back on track.
About that resolution ...
I had my annual physical yesterday, and the cholesterol news was, um, pretty awful. In fact, it was the worst it's ever been. Note to self: Never again have my cholesterol level tested at Christmas time.
At least I don't have to come up with New Year's resolutions. It's pretty obvious what they should be: Eat smarter, exercise more and get my cholesterol levels down.
Luckily, I have no other risk factors -- at least none that seem to be of concern to my doctor. He's giving me six months to change my ways. I'll have more blood tests then, followed by a meeting with him.
I get the feeling this will be my last chance to avoid taking statins for the rest of my life.
