Dr. phoned me today. I was beginning to get concerned as they'd left a message yesterday asking me to call (I was away) and then phoned at 9am today to arrange for the Dr to talk to me.
Well, the eyes didn't lie. I do have elevated chlorestorol, however the Dr first talked about good chloresterol and bad chlorestorol. Apparently I have a reassuringly high level of the good type which counteracts the bad type. I think you have to divide the level of the bad type by the level of the good type and this gives a value of 2.2 which is fine.
So, all the cheese probably isn't doing me a whole lot of good, but I enjoy it and I don't eat read meat, don't have diabetes, don't smoke, have low blood pressure and basically no other chloresterol counter-indications....So, I'll just carry on as I am.
And next time I'm at the opticians, I'll ask her exactly what is this "rimming"

About Me
- Gill
- I'm interested in mobile and social technologies, and how people are using them to create networks around shared interests. I am also one of a rising tide of people who are getting closer to nature, growing vegetables, keeping chickens etc. Social technologies seem to be supporting and feeding this trend, allowing people to find others with shared interests, and enabling small suppliers to reach a wider pool of people eager to buy their hen houses, wormeries, ancient seed varieties etc. So, with this blog, I am joining the ranks of people who are sharing their experiences of self-sufficiency, animal husbandry etc, although a technological theme may well appear from time to time.
