Just got my blood test results. The doc added a whole lot of tests because of my advancing "age".
Being the hypochondriac that I am, I was expecting the worst and had this dreaded feeling that the doctor suspected something was not right hence the additional tests.
Guess what!... all in order... the only reading out of range was total cholesterol because it was mainly HDL, the ratio was well within acceptable levels so the only advice was to cut down on fat.
I should therefore be around for the next few months at least. For some reason, I thought my kidneys were failing but Kidney function parameters are excellent.
However, I'm under no illusions that this means I am in the pink of health. I've had a friend whose blood tests were perfect and he dropped dead 2 months later of a heart attack.
Another guy I knew was diagnosed with Lymphoma stage 3. His blood tests prior to the diagnosis were absolutely normal.

Good news for a handful of kind souls... bad news for many
