Just had a thought on your cholesterol...it may be fine for your age. When I was your age, the MD's didn't do any of the labs that are done today. My folks lived into 90's and I don't even recall them ever talking about cholesterol. The major lab testing got really going strong in the 1970's.... I'm 77 and my MD just started looking at the chol issue maybe 10 yrs ago. I have theories on the cholesterol fear anyway.
