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:
Was that a jab at Bill? Not very nice. :toetap05:He says everything looked good except my Cholusterol Level....It's sitting at 106, he says optimun level is 70.
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:

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!)

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 place 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:

: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.

I hear ya Flash. Just one of those things that need to be done as we 'get older.' I had that jellyfinger thing done and also a colonoscopy.
Patient: Geez Doc, you could have at least removed your ring! :cursing:
Doctor: I don't wear a ring, just a Rolex.![]()

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!
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![]()
