A good result

Got the results of Friday's blood test when I met the dietician today. She wasted no time at all, but right away checked the figures and wrote them onto my progress sheet.

Brilliant News! All my numbers are good. Whether the number's supposed to be above or below a certain value, that's where they all are. Most significantly, my cholesterol is down to 4.07, compared to 7.2 when I went for my angiogram back at the end of May and wasn't allowed home until the bypass was done. The dietician was so pleased she said there was really no need for me to see her again (though six-monthly cholesterol checks are still recommended).

I left Beaumont Hospital with a spring in my step.
