I got my blood test results in the mail today.  I don&#8217;t know what the half the stuff is, but my doctor underlines all the critical bits.  Here&#8217;s the thing.  In February my liver enzyme level was 219 or something (219 of what exactly, I don&#8217;t know, because dammit Jim, I&#8217;m a developer not a doctor).  So, in April it was down by 190, in June or July it was down by 150, in September 120 and today it&#8217;s at 89.<\/p>\n<p>So there it is.
