Nothing booked yet Rodders, but probs flying out on the Wednesday I hope. Happy days :)

Serious blog entry alert....

For those that know me very well know that I"ve had a little bit of a health scare this year, since joining the over 40 club a year or so back my doctor has been wanting me to go in for an over 40"s health check, blood test, urine the works. Now I"ve never been the healthiest of people, my love of Guinness, sandwiches of the cheese and or bacon varieties, peanut butter, pizzas, takeaways and not alot of the green stuff etc being the lifestyle I was dreading it and put it off.

Getting married I decided to see what the actual scores on the doors were earlier in the year, and it wasnt great. Heart attacks and stokes run the in the family and I was told I was in the "critical" area for both with a 20%+ of either / both in the next 10 years. To be fair thats 80%- chance that I wouldn"t.. but it was a little scary to hear.

Since then I"ve been eating more healthy, loads more fish, taking supplements and this benecol stuff everyday. Not happy days. I had to go back the other week for more tests to see if there was any improvements or if I needed to go on constant medication. There was good news.. improvements made so to just continue what I was doing and to go back for more tests in 6 months. There was new bad news.. my triglycerides are extremely high. This was caused by beer. Of all the things they could of told me, "Yes Mr Tompkinson it seems you"re eating too much beetroot" etc.. but no..

So as well as cutting back all the food I love.. I"m now told to lay off the beer. Beer. Less of it. Bad times.

Have asked the doctor how many benecols I need to take per pint to even things out.. still waiting for the call back x

On a positive note. APAT server.. is HOLDING :) currently onto day 2 of continuous "upness". Happy days x

You already did!


I attended a "Well Person's" clinic a while back at the Doctor's surgery and it went something like this.

Nurse: Before we start lets just take some blood and ask a few questions
Nurse: (sticking HUGE needle in my arm) Stop squirming
Nurse: Now Mr Smyth do you smoke ?
Me: Yes

Nurse: Cut that out. Do you drink ?
Me: Yes

Nurse: How many units a week?
Me: What's a unit?

Nurse: A small glass of wine or half a pint of beer
Me: How many units am I allowed?

Nurse: 28 units a week maximum and no more than 6 units a night
Me: Ooops buggered the weeks quota last night.
Nurse: Well cut it down to the recommended amount

Nurse: Do you eat red meat
Me: Yes

Nurse: Cut that out. Do you have fried food?
Me: yes

Nurse: Cut that out.. Now on these scales please, thank you now under this, thank you. Mr Smyth your BMI says that you are Fat bordering on obese. We need to structure a diet.

Nurse: First indications would indicate that your cholesterol is also way too high and the diet will reflect this.

So it looks like my life expectancy is around 15 minutes unless I, Stop smoking, Stop drinking and Stop eating. Then it would be about 1 week because I am medically fat and can live off that.

However I have no intention of adhering to Sister Attila the Hun and I will live until I die.

All the best off to change my will.

LOL is that conversation real.

You needed to stop enjoying yourself so you can live longer and not enjoy yourself even more.

Obviously if you have a family though this changes the game a lot.
