A total cholesterol of 259 in someone your age is NOT okay, Lola. Your personal take on it is correct. That's all I can say online, where I can't give medical advice. But no, 259 is not okay. Fire this doc and find someone who will guide you to better health.

Bruce: What do you mean by trending?

Ortho: While I find this doctor super sweet and nice, I'm actually thinking of changing to someone else next year although I may stay with the same clinic. I'll see what I want to do next year. The doctor did recommend me taking the whooping cough immunization. If I do decide to take it, I can always go to the pharmacy for it to save time.

I heard there's a whooping cough epidemic and that its immunization is recommended for adults. Has anyone taken it?

That 259 could be just a snapshot of a skyrocket, you have to determine if it's moving up, down or steady.

I had the TdaP in 2010, Lola. It felt no different (no side effects) than the regular Td. The 'aP' stands for acellular Pertussis. It's not a live vaccine and cannot give you the disease.

Just realized I forgot to thank you for your response.

Anyways, I just had my mammogram the other day. Made sure I shaved my armpits and all. Anyways, I went over to the screen to look at the pix while the technician was checking them over before letting me go and everything looks fine. I was going to try and ask for copies to humor Sexobon since he asked for pics but I forgot while chatting up with her. However, Sexo, they don't look sexy! You ain't missing out.

Have you considered seeing a gerontologist?

It's the attitude, man. It's the attitude. Ah yes, remember to smile and laugh often even when you're not happy. And don't ask much to be happy. For example, you can make my day with a piece of brownie or chocolate cake.
