We went to the VA clinic to have our blood taken. We will have a new cholesterol value when we see the doctor on 11/4. The last value we have was back in March, 05 and we had blood taken at Hugley Hosp for Dr Patel. The cholesterol value then was 204. We were re-evaluated and our nitrate Rx was reduced to 20 mg. We will try this and see how it goes. Since we are going to my sons house saturday, we will not take the Rx till sunday.

They next step is an appointment in Dallas at the VA hospital. The papers came in duplicate mailing today for a Dec date. For a guy having occusional chest pain and taking nitro, it would seem to me that a more urgent date would be provided. I guess my need for urgency is not a need of urgency on the hospitals part.

The day was super weather wise. Just simply superb.
