Medical Update
Went to see the nurse practioneer at the local surgery today for the results of the blood tests.
Generally all is good. No diabetes, no liver problems, kidney function 0.1% outside normal range which is nothing to worry about. Cholesterol...
Ok, well, given my diet recently and my trips to the US I'm actually reasonably happy, i.e. it's a lot better than I'd prepared myself for. It's still above the normal range at 5.4, on the plus side the LDF and HDF measures are both inside the normal bands, it's just the total that's high.
We've agreed I'll try to tackle it with diet and then re-test in 2 months.
