New year, new insurance, new...Dave?

Dave · Jan 8, 2016

Had to go in for a wellness check on Tuesday. Got the results back today.

Heart - Great
Cholesterol - Great
Triglycerides - Great (these were high the last time I got checked)
Blood pressure - Great

Full, clean bill o'health, baby! The doctor told me that he can hardly believe I'm 50. Says I've got the health profile of a guy in his 30's or 40's. I have to lose a bit of weight, but I already knew that.

Now all I have to do is lie sideways on a table and get a camera stuck up my ass. But since my bloodwork is fine I don't anticipate anything bad.

I do have to have my serum protein rechecked as it's a bit high, but other than that you ain't getting rid of me any time soon.

Darn!

I mean, great, great! That's great to hear!

OK, fellow Halforumites, grab the torches and pitchforks. We're going to have to do this the hard way.

Hey, I always get the exact opposite! Must be a Dorian Grey thing going on between us. I'll keep eating, you diet, and we'll see who loses weight, 'kay?

Would you rather fight 113* mink-sized weasels or one David Bowie-sized weasel?

(Assuming David Bowie weighs 170lb and the average mink weighs 1.5lb, 170/1.5~=113)
