I saw my Primary Care guy - I'm used to typing Primary Care Physician, but Nick is a PA. I like him a lot, better than the last two Primary Care Physicians I had, but he's not a doctor, not a "Physician". He's a Physician Assistant. Like my ex-wife, who was the first PA I ever met.
Anyway, it was a great visit. With one exception, my labs were excellent. That exception was my cholesterol levels, which weren't too bad, just worse than the last few test results.
Which I found amusing, because I have been modifying my diet since the last test, in ways to be more compliant with the standard American Heart Association guidelines I was taught in Cardiac Rehab: I've reduced my red meat intake, and added more whole grains, in particular, oatmeal, and, if anything, my lipid profile should have been better.

But no-o-o. Not better. I'm not worried - high cholesterol isn't going to kill me (just over half the people who die of heart attacks have normal cholesterol levels).
I feel great, in fact. Things that were bothering me at the last visit, three months ago, have been addressed and found to need no intervention. Quote from Nick: "Did they end cardio rehab because you were doing so well?".
And with that, he decreased the frequency of my visits to one every six months.
I am grateful for my health and the medical team that supports it.
