A Clean Bill of Health and Rest Too: An Ironic Tale
At the end of July I had a complete physical exam. This past Friday I went back to the doctor to hear the results of the lab tests. Well, I am happy to say my tests were stellar! My cholesterol went down 40 points since last year and is now a perfect 180, I am not pre-diabetic, my ticker is excellent and my blood pressure is low. As a matter of fact my physician said I am in "Fantastic health" and with that gave me a clean bill of health. I have to believe the work at the gym is really paying off in more ways than just my pant size.
As for achieving the three "R's" of adulthood (see previous blog entry) I finally got those too just not in the way I would have liked. This is a story of irony if I have ever told one...
The very same Friday I was told I was in fantastic health I went out with some friends for happy hour. I had three cosmopolitan martinis in three hours, one drink per hour (trust me this is nothing for me) and by 8:00pm I was hanging over a toilet, face down at the restaurant. Apparently I was the victim of someone who did not wash their hands before they touched something I consumed. SO SKEEVY!!! I got four days on the couch watching TV in between bathroom runs. I am sure I lost a ton of weight too because the only thing I could keep down was ice chips. At this point I am analyzing the positive aspects of being ill which is especially helpful when being poisoned by someone else's poo. E-gads!
Today is my first day back to work and I am feeling much better and will attempt to return to the gym to continue the road to good health.
Stay tuned...I am about to step back into the dating world.

Brilliant entries, all of them! I have been out of the loop lately as I have been overworked, overstressed, and overweight. Trying to not work so hard, not sress so much, and not eat so much is much harder than what I am accustomed to! Love reading your stuff. Keep writing. I will always show up here, probably when you least expect it!

WOW! Uncle Mikey. Welcome back. I've missed you. Sounds like we have much in common. All of the things you are trying to achieve are enormous, trust me I know. Cherish the breaks as they come and live life to the fullest as I know you already do.
How many more days until Murdock uhhh I mean Sherman comes home?

Dear Jen:
Promises. promises,promises! That's me. But i am reading your entiries and I am enjoying them immensely. The problem, is, I'm up to my ears in stuff I'm doing the advertising and publicity for an upcoming church festival. (I told my brother this yesterday and he said, "You mean up to your ass, don't you?" "No," I said, "that's how it started out.") I'll get clear one of these days and give you a more suitable responseto your fascinating entires. Meanwhile, compliments on the good health and weight loss.

We are waiting for another entry. WHY are you being so delayed? Hopefully it's because you are doing something fabulous . . .
