I was waaaay overdue for a physical. This is supposed to be totally covered but I guess some of the test aren’t, because they sent me a bill! But it’s worth it to know my cholesterol and thyroid and alien nanobots in my blood stream.
I’ve always had high cholesterol but my good cholesterol is good the doctors drool.
Thyroid fine. I’m chock full o’ calcium. The old blood pressure is not improving though.
So my doctor is about 18, mixed race and gorgeous. She had a student shadowing her, the student was 40ish but when she heard we make our own Greek yogurt, she got very excited. (It’s easy to make with a crock pot.)
So I can breathe, that’s good; no funny sounds from the heart (still waiting on the ECG, EKG, whatever, but don’t expect any surprises)
Doc: “family history?”
Drfooms: arms fall off, heads explode, but our hearts go on forever. Dad’s side lived forever, Mom’s strokes.
Then I assumed the position.
You know, the position. Fairly goodnews, prostate slightly enlarged but no lumps or bumps.
So other than probably getting put on high blood pressure meds, I’m in ok shape.
Except, think about it, if you’ve got a hot female sticking her finger up your whoopdedoo,
wouldn’t your blood pressure be high too?
Old age, it’s not just for geezers anymore.

You’re just starting NOW to take blood pressure meds? That’s amazing. And, Jeff would be feeling your pain if he weren’t in Florida visiting his dad. He just had his yearly buttcheck. A new guy. Said he wasn’t all that fun. Had fingernails. Enuf said.
