Mixed blessings
The cardiologist called yesterday to give me the results of my stress echo cardiogram. It was mostly good news; my cardiovascular fitness was well above average, my endurance very good, my heart recovery time excellent with no “episodes” recorded during the test. I’m quite physically fit after the diet and exercise this spring and summer.
So tell me how my cholesterol could spike up 30 points in the same period during which I lost 35 pounds? The doctor’s answer? Bad genes. **sigh**
I go back to have it checked again in 6 weeks.
