Blood Work

Every year I have blood work done just to check to see where I am on the health scale. I am alright but there are things that I probably should work on but doubt if I will. My cholesterol is higher than last year and is in the high category. It is 225, but there is some good news on that. My good cholesterol is also high. It is 73. I have no idea what any of these numbers mean and I don't care. My triglycerides are 48 which is good. Here is the one that actually warrants my attention. My iron is way high at 232. Normal range is 45-170. Blair tells me to stop eating red meat. I might be able to cut back a little, but not much. I love that stuff. The other count that is high is my calcium. I think that is fine with me and calcium is good for strong bones. I really should take all of this work that I had done to my doctor to see what he says and what he wants me to do, but I am a cheap bastard. I feel fine and I don't worry about any of this stuff. I do above the average of cardio exercise (3-5 hours a week) but I do eat what I want and that isn't so good. Oh well. I will just keep on keeping on. My cholesterol will always be high because both of my parents is well over 300. I might change my diet, but I wouldn't put any money down on it if I were you. Side note: My mom is doing great and her knee and leg are healing quite nicely. She is walking now without her cane. Things are improving and progressing nicely.
