I gave up putting the bra on my car some time ago. I swear every time I washed my car and put on the front end cover it would rain!

I only wish I had kept my 1991 Honda Civic Si a year ago. It was in great shape and a good rain car!

So, I just got a call from my Family Phsysician and this time it wasn't about getting his Porsche detailed :cornut:
I had to go in last Tuesday for a series of test to qualify for a new insurance policy. He just called me to go over my results :wizard:
He says everything looked good except my Cholusterol Level....It's sitting at 106, he says optimun level is 70. Dangerous level is 130 and above.He also says I have to lay down the cigarettes and to continue walking 2-3 miles each day(which I already do) :soldier:
Mind you as he is telling me this I am eating a powdered donut
Oh yea, I almost forgot. He also wants me to make an appointment with Dr.Jellyfinger :scared:

Nobody likes to have to visit Dr. Jellyfinger, but it's pretty much a neccessity for any guy of a certain age in order to increase the chances of continuing a happy, healthy life.
Just make sure that you don't feel the discomfort of such an intrusion and then notice that the good doctor has a hand on each of your shoulders at the same time. That wouldn't be good. :wink:

Yikes:scared: Nobody likes that doctor!
Look, just do what needs to be done. It is unpleasant, but it is better to have that unpleasant experience and know if there is anything to worry about, then not to know.
Take care of yourself, this pace wouldn't be the same without you.

This reminds me of when I was in high school in the early 80's and the AIDS epidemic was just becoming known. One of my friends asked me what the letters stood for and then jokingly answered "Anal Intrusion Death Syndrome!" Since I did not know what AIDS really stood for, I took him seriously and believed him. A few weeks later, my history teacher asked the class what AIDS stood for. I confidently yelled out "Anal Intrusion Death Syndrome!" Luckily, albeit embarrassingly, the whole class yelled out "Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome!" and the teacher didn't hear me, but the students around me did and they all gave me a very strange look! Talk about feeling stupid!
Yeah, I'm not looking forward to when I need to go for the finger treatment. My fishing partner is in his mid 80's and already told me all about his encounter with "Mr. Jellyfinger." I can't recall him mentioning anything pleasant about the experience.:scared:

Was that a jab at Bill? Not very nice. :toetap05:
:biggrin: Kidding.
Just be glad you are in good health in all but one area. There are plenty that can't say that - and millions that have high blood pressure.

Patient: Geez Doc, you could have at least removed your ring! :cursing:
Doctor: I don't wear a ring, just a Rolex.

Those numbers don't sound right, my doc says over 200 and we have an issue. My last blood test was 162 and he said I'd live as long as my dad (92!)
I am 50 and was scheduled to get one of those coca cola-ostomies and after doing some research on my own, I cancelled it. It's a personal decision and one I will not give advice on, you have to decide for yourself.
BTW the alternate to getting old ain't good!

So, should I not ask to be sedated :cornut:
Uuuhh, thats just the kinda information I was hoping not to here....Thanks alot trhland :cursing:
Yes, Barry. I am the type of person, that if I allow myself, can turn a molehill into a mountain. I think it would ease my mind if I got the a.o.k. that everything is all good back yonder
Thank you for your concern. You take care also

Yet another ringing endorsement for Dr Jellyfinger
Yes, DLB I thanked GOD right after I got off the phone. I have not always followed the rules of life Da Rules!
Its actually a miracle that I'm here at all :angel:
Do they at least give you a lollypop or something when there done :Gift:
Patient: Geez Doc, you could have at least removed your ring! :cursing:
Doctor: I don't wear a ring, just a Rolex.
I'm going to get a female Doctor....There hands aren't as big....plus, I could never look another man in the eyes after he had has his way with my backside :scared:
I did some brief research. It seems according to Mayo Clinic my Doctor was spot on as far as the numbers go, but if you say 106 is good then maybe I'll go get me another donut
artaaay:I agree. My doc tells me to keep it under 200.:cornut:
(Cho-LUSTER-ol? Have you been hacking into my medical records?!!! LOL! :rofl
From what I have briefly read. Alot of it depends on your age and if heart desease runs in your family :2 cents:
I knew when I wrote Cholusterol something didn't look right :doh:

Am I missing something or is he talking about something else.He can't be talking cholesterol level which should be in the range of 100-199. He must be talking HDL range which should be 40 and above.LDL should be under 100
There is good and bad cholesterol. Maybe he was referring only to the bad stuff.
Last year my when my boss turned 50 he went and had a colonoscopy. They found stage 3 cancer. Surprised all of us. He had no symptoms and felt great. Stage 3 is where it has started to spread. He had surgery and 6 months of chemo. Hopefully they killed it and it won't show up anywhere else.
I had a colonoscopy when I turned fifty. You're out for the whole procedure, so it wasn't bad. The hard part was fasting the day before and drinking that gallon of "special" beverage they give you to drink.
