In case you were wondering, my doctor's visit went fine, and assuming my TB test comes back negative, I seem to be in good health. My bad cholesterol is low and my good cholesterol is appropriately high, and my neutral cholesterol-does that exist? I'm also apparently 5' 6" now-perhaps I should stand up straight more often.

My doctor was a Harvard undergrad who lived in Winthrop house. I would've asked more, but i figured she had other patients to see, and the hospital gown thing did make it a little awkward for striking up conversation.
