Looks good!: There are more values that come along with blood work and you really need to look at all of them and it also really depends as to why the blood work is being ordered but overall nothing there looks concerning.

No worries: Mpv is mean platelet volume. Not of much use unless platelets are low. Wbc is white blood count (9.65 normal). Rdw is statistical indication of variation in red blood cell size (15.4 slightly high, hence anisocytosis). Ovalocytes are oval red blood cells. Co2 is carbon dioxide (23 normal). None of these results are concerning with respect to your health.
