Logic and experimentation

Now I am about to update you all on some pressing news and information.
Yesterday I received a note from my doctor's office that I must make an appointment to get my blood work results. So I made one for this morning.
And the news was not very good; I failed my cholesterol test by receiving the highest number for me ever a total cholesterol of 248, beating my previous high score of 227.

I guess this means I cannot say good-bye to my medication for this. This is one of the few tests in life that getting a high score is bad. Personally I do know people who are walking around with much higher scores, and they do look alive and pretty lively too!
I did have the good sense to fill out the form to have a copy made for own interest, but it will take some time. They told me that it is done at a different office in another city. What?
But I said to the office person that had me fill out the form to have my own blood work copy that there was a copier right behind her!
Apparently not allowed, the other office is in charge of this delicate procedure, bureaucracy! But they can torture me in this one?

The form I filled out was on that sensitive type 3 copy paper...but why? It's my blood! Who else needs to know that I'm a failure in the cholesterol wars where getting a total below 200 is the winning number for a healthy person and means you are living a healthy lifestyle...

Oh but I am! I eat well; lots of fruits and vegetables daily, even fish and chicken, also lean meats!
My exercise is pretty good considering for someone with my health issues, arthritis, and the MS!
No drinking any liquor for over a month now... mmm... when I had my wine in the evening my cholesterol was lower...mmm...maybe I nixed the grape brew too soon...mmm.
Interesting we saved one bottle of a Cabernet Sauvignon, and I fooled you all!
It's chilling as I write this...mmm... we will see... could be a good thing.
Taking a quote from Martha Stewart, a good thing that is, but did you know that she is like 66 years old, and does drink wine, and looks terrific!
It's gotta be a good thing and she is my proof!

Having good genes is probably the real reason, and mine are not so good!
Heck with that I will ask her to adopt me.
I guess it doesn't work that way.

But when I told/confessed to the doctors about my wine indulgence they agreed it was a good idea and healthful, and not a problem with the prescriptions that they prescribed.
So now with their permission I will see what I will see...next test isn't for another year...my numbers should be way down by then or I will be a very, very tipsy woman for all time!
Nah, not that much fun and a bit unrealistic with only one glass for medicinal purposes an evening.
