Your Free T has less to do with your Total and more to do with your SHBG so it's possible to have a high Free and low Total. Did you get your SHBG checked? Low SHBG will increase your Free T numbers.

It depends on what unit of measurement is being used. Does it show ng/dl (nanogram) or pg/ml (picogram)? Unfortunately, some of these standards can make the whole process pretty confusing.
As Forrest indicated, SHBG plays a role in determining how much bio-available free "T" you have. I personally look for the % of free "T" to give me an accurate assessment of where I'm at, measured in ng/ml. If you can get your SHBG score (which is good to know anyways), and take your latest albumin score off of your metabolic panel, you can get a pretty accurate assessment of where you sit with your free testosterone by using this calculator: http://www.issam.ch/freetesto.htm
I forgot your protocol with Kaiser, what kind of program are they doing for you at the moment? Kind of concerning that your TT would be at 211 on any TRT regiment.
