Cholesteroller coaster

WHOA! I just read Celvyn's blog and his crazy cholesterol numbers of 298! That makes a pretty good batting average Mr. Foie Gras. At least you're going to the doctors to keep it in check. Not to gloat or sound like a Lipitor commercial, but I just got my cholesterol numbers back too:
TOTAL 148 ( 200 or less )
HDL "good" 52 ( 60 or more )
LDL "bad" 76 ( 160 or less )
TRIGLYCERIDES 75 ( 200 or less )

Total Cholesterol Ratio 2.84 ( 3.5 or lower is ideal ) TOTAL divided by HDL

But I do have the aid of modern magic medicine. My doctor had just started me on Lipitor last month and these were the results. Damn Atkin's. Gotta keep the plumbing cleared.
