After doing some extensive research (I use that term loosely ;) I have found out the following:

1) Based on my numbers, my SNR is very much within spec, as are my power levels.  From what Ive gathered, my amount of uncorrectables over the course of X amount of days is nothing to worry about, since I am not seeing and speed/connection issues. And all those uncorrectables may have been brought on by some sort of maintenence, or the like.

2) There is a thing called FEC Forward Error Correction, which is normal and operates by correcting the correctable codewords, so any amount of correctable's just means that the FEC is working as intended

Hope this helps anyone else, and If I misspoke/jumbled something up , please let me know.  

Thanks
