Shock and Awe!
For those who know me... I avoid the doctor. I count on my natural ability to heel most of the time. But finally in 2006 I figured I might as well start using this great benefit I get from work, Health Care. So I set up an appointment. I have had some back pain, a nagging cough (which went away the week I went to the doctor), and just figured I should get checked out.

On my first visit he ordered some XRays and blood work. The Xrays were good, and the item I was most worried about was my cholesterol test. I figured the doctor was trying to get me started on some expensive meds now and make the most he can out of me...

So I went back this week to get my results. Like I said the Xrays were good, and to my surprise so was my cholesterol. Not only was it fine, but it was stellar. The doctor told me I should eat more cheeseburgers! I have a 170 something for overall cholesterol... and that my good cholesterol was super good, and that my bad cholesterol levels were very very low. The funny part of this story... is the reaction that I get from people when I told them. Jen and Kristi at work started laughing at me and wondered if the doctor had the right results... Heather didn't even know what to say... and since my mom is just now reading this I can already see her crafting her response about me needing to be healthier regardless of the tests.

Anyhow... the day after the doctor I celebrated and got that cheeseburger. Not just any cheeseburger... but a 1/4 pounder from the Eat Shop with Cheese and yep... BACON. Don't forget the side of fries and my 32oz Mug. Yes folks... I live well and I am a happy "healthy" man!

Cheesburger... 1/4 pound of beef... BACON!

My Kellog Cup, bought it my first day here.

So for all you critics... not working out, eating whatever I want, eating past 8 PM, Old Country Buffet, George Foreman Grill chicken, Chinese buffets, and cheeseburgers won't give you high cholesterol. At least not me! I got to run to McDonalds... bye.
