You wrote, [...maybe I missed...?]
The aspect of using the word {well} verses the word {good} may be an esoteric situation. The complication could be the use of {all} in the statement in question. I lean to that when the word {all} is used, where either {good} or {well} could be used in the statement, that {good} could be used in place of {well}. This is because the conotation of feeling {good} could mean that the {mood} >and< the {general health} is what is feeling and the word {all} then could mean the totality.(citation gudfel,bottom under "usage") This is why I think that {good} could be thought in the statement in question.
