Medical Tests

I saw the doctor today for my regular 6 month checkup. These are invariably preceded by lab work: fasting blood tests and a urine analysis. I knew I'd been a very bad boy over the winter and larded it on. I gained weight, I ate everything wrong, and I exercised not one wit. I was dreading today's visit with the doc. I knew I was gonna get a butt chewing.

Ha! Everything came in great. Yes, I gained weight, but my triglycerides dropped 55 points, my good cholesterol was up, my bad cholesterol was down, and everything else was normal. Even my blood pressure today was the lowest it's been in years.

I suspect that they mixed up my results with some 25 year old guy's. Today, his doctor told him that he has the body of a man more than twice his age. Poor sap.
