Hi PW:
I Hate to say it but getting and staying healthy is Hard work, as you probably noticed. I did find that some Dr's and labs have slightly different numbers. There is a name for it, but I can't remember what it is right now.
To the Dr. One means, (if the numbers aren't right on :P ) the exact numbers and the other means, (in the area, give the Patient a break if he/she isn't dying
) j/k So I don't fret too much about getting the "exact number" but certainly do try to get somewhere's in Good or close to Good area.
Here is the conversion chart: U.S. and Canadian/UK

I hope that you don't get the stomach flu that I managed to get. Not Fun!
