Yeah, I got some work to do on the cholesterol. Now that I look at it like this...it doesn't strike me as a very comprehensive blood test, hormonaly speaking. And yes, it does feel like it's taking a really long time to see/feel definitive results. But on a somewhat positive note, today a lady at work asked what I was in such a good mood about. Given the way I've been feeling, that just struck me kind of odd. Maybe I've been waiting/wanting for the BIG BANG of recovery when what's really going to happen is kind of a slow build up. I read about guys getting the big bang...I want the big bang. Maybe they were trying to convince themselves? Many thanks Mickey.
