How high is high cholesterol?

I was originally scheduled for surgery on 3-14-03 and my doctor postponed it until sometime in July. He said my cholesterol was 572 and my triglycerides were, an unheard of 4230. Since I've been home my cholesterol has dropped to 327 and my triglycerides 826. I can't remember what normal should be on either one. Somebody please help me with this. Thanks Claire
