So, Uncle Dennis was showing off his medical toys at his office the other day (and dealing with some legitimate health concerns for Ina’s dad, and my cousin Shana) and so I got my lipid profiles taken. My HDL’s were in the mid 30’s (low) and the ratio of my overall cholesterol to my HDL was 4.9 (high). This is modestly bad news. I’m at no great risk for immediate heart disease because, well, I’m young, but I ain’t gonna be that way forever. Ina, on the other hand had HDL’s in the 70’s, and a ratio more like 2. <\/p>\n
