I went to the DR. today for my yearly checkup, She said OH! your havn't had your exam. I said what exam? She said colon exam, your 54 and it's past time and I will set it up for you right now! before you get away. I said do I really need it. She said YES! And you need a a full blood workup also. PSA also. I see you havn't have a prostate check in some time,So here we go.

**** I went for checkup and really got it!

I went the other Friday and he checked me out,even the prostate thing.
So you ain't the only one.

Got the blood tests back today. PSA test 0.5 whew passed that one. Everything else is good except my LDL 120 but my total chol is 182. So I guess I am good.

My cholesterol was a low 241 total,he told me to change my diet from fast food hamburgers and fries to something a little more healthy. I for get what all the others where but my thyroid (whatever that is) was low and has him concerned,my wife also.
I feel fine,just get tire some,out of breath if running or climbing stairs,but I don't exercise much at all.
They done an EKG and it read right at what it did 2 years ago,said that was a good sign,sugar was good,triglycerides were good.

My wife wanted me to go walking with her Saturday and we walked about mile and I was so tired when we got home.The worst part was walking up the hill to the house. My 83 year neighbor said if I exercised I'd feel a whole lot better.He rides a stationary bike 2 miles and walks 2 miles on a tread mill every day,plus eats a cup of blueberries per day.

I walk 2 miles a day everyday for the past ten years with my dog,she will not let me sit down until she has had her walk,and I can't cut it short because she knows where we turn around. It's good and bad,it has given me exercise even when I am tired.

Well I guess i'll say thanks to "emma" for the exercise!:thanku:

Exercise starts when you get out of bed. "I'm up and I'm dressed, I think". The I check my socks to see if they match.
Started at 1 mile a day, then 1-1/2, then 2, then....up to almost 6 miles a day now, in addition to what I do around the farm, here. Takes a big chunk of time out of the day, about 1-1/2 hours, I can do the banking and shopping at the same time, even stop at the hardware store to get paint or nuts/bolts for the tractor project.
Huffing and puffing will go away as you progress.
The sneaker companies await your purchases every other month. Well, in my case it's almost every 6 - 7 weeks for new shoes, now. Almost 1700 miles in the past 12 months.
My DR. doesn't care what exercise I do.Might as well just sit around and do nothing. Tried that, doesn't work.
