[Burr]

Old Mans got go to the doctor Monday and Tuesday for my yearly physical.
Monday for test, Blood (with PSA and Testosterone) then Ultra Sound and Tuesday to meet the Doctor.
I am in great shape if you like pears BP stays around 110/60/ resting pulse 50, moving 62 and I cycle from 120 to 140bps.

Damn I hate needles!!

 

[Burr]

I lost 9 kidney stones in 14 months, thank you very much. Eating tree leaves!

Fine out about the blood tomorrow.

Still have the Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and I don't know how to fix it yet!

Wife's stuff not looking good, know more tomorrow
--

 

[Burr]

Had my physical Monday and Tuesday, here’s where I stand.
I lost 9 kidney stones in 14 months. I took two Sambong pills a day for 1g. The pills come from the Sambong tree and you can also make a tea from them.
This worked for me.
I also have and have had a None Alcohol Fatty Liver. I have had this for many years and it is part of diabetes. There is nothing or very little I can do about but live with it!
Blood Test is great.
BUT my sugar is out of control. I ran 120-130 for 10 years then I moved over here where everything is sugar. I will take charge of my sugar from today forward and get it back in the 120 area. It has been in the 150-160 area for the last few years. I WILL DO THIS.
My cholesterol is great 181, it is up from 161 two years ago.
No one will talk with me about Testosterone and they don’t know how to measure it. I will do a lot of research on my own and go talk with a Chinese Pharmacist the first of the year and see if they know what I am talking about. They do sell a Testosterone pill in a health store.
So that’s where I stand!
My wife is another story. She can either get with the program or she is going to fall by the side and I can’t help her.
She is in bad shape, all her readings are very high and it is up to her. That’s all I can do.

Don’t Forget Your Gripers, Three Times a Day

Been doing a lot of cycling

 

[Burr]

[FONT=&quot]SENIOR SMARTS[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]
A lawyer and a senior
citizen are sitting next to each
other on a long flight.

The lawyer is thinking
that seniors are so dumb that he
could get one over
on them easy.

So the lawyer asks
if the senior would like to play a fun
game.

The senior is tired
and just wants to take a nap, so he
politely declines
and tries to catch a few winks.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
The lawyer persists,
saying that the game is a lot of fun. I
ask you a question,
and if you don't know the answer, you
pay me only $5. Then
you ask me one, and if I don't know
the answer, I will
pay you $500, he says.

This catches the
senior's attention and to keep the lawyer
quiet, he agrees
to play the game.

The lawyer asks the
first question. 'What's the distance
from the Earth to
the Moon?'

The senior doesn't
say a word, but reaches into his pocket,
pulls out a five-dollar
bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now it's the senior's
turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What
goes up a hill with
three legs, and comes down with four?'

The lawyer uses his
laptop and searches all references he
could find on the Net.

He sends e-mails
to all the smart friends he knows; all to
no avail. After
an hour of searching, he finally gives
up.

He wakes the senior
and hands him $500. The senior
pockets the $500
and goes right back to sleep.

The lawyer is going
nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes
the senior up and
asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with
three legs and comes
down with four?'

The senior reaches
into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and
goes back to sleep.

[Curt James]

Solid work!

 

[Burr]

Found out why I’ve been hurting so much!
I got Diabetic Neuropathy!
Diabetic neuropathy - MayoClinic.com

BUT, that’s OK; I’ll work with it, around it or thought it. I will stay hard until the day I die.
I have all the special shoes that look like “duck feet” and what ever. So I’ll just keep going maybe a little different then before, may use the machine more often but I’ll stay hard!

 

[Curt James]

How severe is this, Burr? Pain, numbness? What are your symptoms?

 

[Burr]

Feet hurt all the time. Getting up from a chair kills me.

But I find that the more I workout and cycle the less it hurt!

It only hurts when I stop so I don't stop!

 

[Curt James]

That sucks, man.

I about buckled over at the waist getting out of my chair. Lower back is a time bomb. lol

But I wouldn't trade you, friend. Hope you're feeling better.
