New Dr. here, since we moved. In the process of a full physical. Also due for an oil change, since my last one was 3 years ago. Tomorrow I have a pre meeting to meet the surgeon.

New insurance (retirement), dentist and dental check are already done.

Fun times.

I go with "don't ask, don't tell". Not the best policy for everyone anyone, but I'm a half-assed fatalist, I guess.

I'm pushing 73, so I can't complain.

Damn .... I only have a little over 4 years till 50

Better have all the fun I can have before the 50 check up

I have a feeling the doctor will say I'm slightly over weight lol

I will not be seeing the doctor unless I have some sort of flesh wound that I can't walk off.

When it's my time to go its my time to go.
That being said Im thinking i should head to the local red cross and donate a pint or two.

50 was easy, 60-something flicked a switch and all the old shit flared up
Bone and joint issues, thought it was fun when I was young

Damn, Timmy, I didn't know we were relatives. Not necessarily blood relatives, as I've not had any transfusions, yet.

My policy has always been if it doesn't need sutures, I'm not going. I guess I'd make an exception for a cast, as well.

Last I went to the doctor ( after my wife made me get a PCP), I met them and told them I was put on BP meds when I was 22years old. I was the fittest person I knew in several circles, and I wanted to find out how to get off the meds.
He took my BP, looks at my labs and told me I needed more meds to control it.


My brother is 41 and when he goes to a doctor and they ask him for a list of medications they are always surprised that he says None. He is the picture of perfect health.

I blame the ‘beetus.

So... Getting sodomized on Tuesday. Turned 50. Ugh.

I got the heart CAT scan, came back with a calcium score of zero. I guess that's good. Apparently all of my lipids are not so great so, the good calcium score is encouraging. Or, discouraging, if it's your goal to die of heart disease instead of cancer. Idunno

I do have a 6 mm lump in my lung. Which, considering all of the phenolic dust I snort on a regular basis, seems a little small.

I'm 50 now, so I figure any additional lifespan past this point is just gravy. I have reached that age where, it is neither uncommon or even necessarily embarrassing to shit your pants. I haven't shit my pants yet but I'm thinking about taking it up.

Did that calcium thing a few months ago...also zero. But also found a small spot in my lung, and a thickened esophagus, and a hiatal hernia. Yippee. Having an endoscopy Tues to check the esophagus, and another scan in Oct to check the spot.
