I guess the report is what you might expect. Guts major problem is they are wearing out. No cancer or disease of any kind could be detected.
Lungs, kidneys, heart, liver all damaged. Spine crooked enough to rate a disabled parking sticker (spondylolisthesis). Blood abnormal -- red corpuscles too big -- sign of a heavy drinker. And other ills that go along with 70 years of hard use.
Doc's advice. Take better care of yourself.
Boys, it's just part of the deal. If you keep living you're going to get old and worn out and there's nothing anybody can do about it. The only thing I'm going to do differently is start practicing again a brand of yoga I developed for personal use about 20 years ago when I was recovering from kidney surgery. It's a combo of serveral types of yoga and tai chi. I call it taiyoga. It works but I'm generally too lazy to do it but it's time. And I think I need to drink more Heineken.
I'm going to try to keep dancing the dance until my death day clicks up on the calendar. That's about the best any of us can do, I'd guess.
Thanks once again for all the prayers and kind consideration.
