Well, I said (to Mom at least) that when I got my bloodwork results in I’d post my cholesterol levels just to show you all how excellent my levels are. This way, when I come to Ren Fest and eat all the fried offerings I can find, you’ll know that I’m allowed 🙂
Total Cholesterol – 166 (good range: 100-199)
HDL (good) – 79 (range: 40-59; over 59 is good)
LDL (bad) – 77 (range: 0-99; I think she said under 60 is good)
LDL/HDL ratio – 1.0 (normal is 3.2; a ratio of 1.5 halves the risk factors)
I am having turkey legs and fried mushrooms and queen annes lace and .. what else do they have?
I have all my other blood levels too – lymph and bilirubin and glucose and protein and globulin etc. etc. etc. Just ask me. I have all the numbers. (lol)
Glucose is 88. (normal: 65-99). This was a fasting test.
Hemocrit is 35.4 (normal: 34-44). This is why the ARC keeps turning me down when the want my type o blood so desparately.
Anyway. Those are my fabulous numbers.
many congrats on the excellent physical!
i know that it was a comfort when my report came back just as good (if not a little better =D) this spring.
ohoh and don’t forget the fried snickers bar chased with lots and lots of Guinness or Harp!!! geee Ramona!
and while your type O would most certainly be desireable…i think they might be turning you down because you’re so naturally petite (in the tall and long sense)…you have just barely enough blood for you and they don’t want you passing out or getting ill. i know you want to donate though. i also have a drive to donate and they want my type ab+ blood badly too…but i am on the deferred list for at least a while due to the tattoo.
Well i think you are both show-offs. 🙂
