Annual Physical

[tgull]

Physical this past Friday:

Pulse rate: 71
BP: 119 over 70
Total Cholesterol: 132
Blood Glucose: 99
BMI: 26.5

All of the above are really good numbers for someone now pushing 50.

But here is the deal, the Doc said my liver enzymes are way too high. Basically said if I don't stop drinking, I won't make it to 60. That fucking sucks because I really like to drink. I am going on an Alaskan cruise with the family next month. I really can't fathom not walking down to the bar at 9am and getting a Bloody Mary. Always loved bullshitting with the Indonesian bartender when nobody else is there. I don't think I ever had a true breakfast on a cruise. Two Bloody Marys with celery and olives, name me a better breakfast. Now apparently I will be toasting an english muffin with jam and a coffee. That is just a beat. Bloody Mary at an empty bar with an Indonesian or waiting in line at a toaster with some farmer goober so excited they get unlimited bread products, do the math on that one.

Decent numbers, I thought you were pushing 45 ?

[Sloppy Joe]

Did you get your Alaskan passport yet?

Think you just have to bite the bullet and drink up. You don't strike me as a guy who likes staring at blocks of ice without being half in the bag.

Mid 50's feels like a good run for a consummate lush. Go out in a blaze, got it?

I am 48 and a half. I am an old guy. I was surprised at my BMI, basically I am officially overweight although I look normal. I feel like shit though. Doc says its all due to carbs, I bought literally $300 of pure protein (enough salmon and chicken to fee the Waltons for a month) and got rid of all alcohol products when I got the enzyme results yesterday. Doc was actually concerned enough he called me on a Saturday afternoon.

You don't need a passport for Alaska, but I do have one for the British Columbia stopover. You are an annoying little twerp by the way, so glad you are parked in Portland which is the shithole of the country, best to keep guys like you segregated away from the masses.

[lol wow]

how do we fasttrack your canadian assisted suicide

This thread makes me want to look at my last physical…hmm.

I keep my drinking to the weekends though when not on vacation and max is 6 beers based on how much alcohol is in them. I try and keep the multiplayer under 30 so no hangover….6 beers x .05 abv = 30, an IPA at 7.5% = max 4.

Used to drink much much more before kids, we’d play water volleyball all day Saturday with a keg…did that now I’d be dead in a year.

[splitthis]

Mocktails. Replace booze with exercise.

Liver death is horrendous.

Guessing you gave yourself one 'final night' before kicking off a planned sobriety today.

Hopefully you mapped out a solid plan because those DT's are coming if not there already.

Just saying, have a few tall boys and shut the fuck up about this.

Physical this past Friday:

Pulse rate: 71
BP: 119 over 70
Total Cholesterol: 132
Blood Glucose: 99
BMI: 26.5

From October 2022, age 50:

Pulse rate: 62
Total Cholesterol: 141
A1c (a much better indicator of diabetes risk than Glucose): 4.9
Testosterone: 442

Only my blood pressure was an issue, and it's only moderately high. This is hereditary. Unmedicated it's like 150/90, but medicated it's normal.

None of these numbers are a result of medication. The only thing I take meds for is blood pressure.

bottomset, it was probably a wise decision to start this new thread considering you got royally buttfucked in your last one

Brother I must advise you it is not hereditary.

Brother this type of "stuff" does not actually "exist"

You personally hold the power to control and advance your genetics.

you must understand this

Everyone else can drive just fine and get to their next stop in life. not you. Get used to shitbag hotels in Las Vegas, it appears it's your final stopping point. Go away pal.

Brother it is hereditary.

Blood pressure issues and cholesterol issues are mostly hereditary, with only a small portion of it lifestyle-related. There is a small percentage of people who can control high BP or cholesterol with lifestyle changes, but most require meds.

Brother, I present to you a good example of this, in Master Scalir. He and I have similar diets, are a similar height and weight, and are a similar age. He has very good blood pressure but moderately high cholesterol. I have very good cholesterol numbers but moderately high blood pressure. The difference is in genetics.

Brother in the 1980s there was a big panic about cholesterol, and many people cut out fatty foods from their diet in fear of their cholesterol becoming elevated. Years later it was learned that diet only has a small impact on cholesterol levels for most people, but most still engage in this incorrect old school thinking.

Brother there are good reasons to stay away from a high fat diet (such as weight concerns), but cholesterol isn't one of them. Same thing with blood pressure and salty foods. Even if I cut out all salt and stress from my life, I would still have high blood pressure.

Brother, human beings are naturally wired to expect good results from good behavior, and bad results from bad behavior. It makes people feel uncomfortable to learn that certain things are completely out of their control. Brother, people who know of my high fat diet get very upset when they hear that my total cholesterol is 141, while theirs is over 200 and they watch everything they eat.

T at 442 is lowish but acceptable for a 50 year old. I would want it at least 600 personally.

[devidee]

I’m 47 and have visible abs.

Keep studying those numbers, nerds.


And if you think having a low cholesterol number is good, you don’t understand cholesterol.
