Went in for a blood panel the good, I’ve lost 56 lbs, I’m not diabetic, and all the rest of my numbers are good, Except my red blood cells, seems I make to many, and they want to bleed me. I have Vaso Vagel reaction so it’s hard to get my blood to flow, and with to many red cells it makes your blood thicker. They had to poke me twice to get enough blood to test. I am over the getting poked part, so I hope they have a vac set up to suck the blood out when they do the prodecure. It looks like my least favorite thing is something I may have to do regularly...

Don't believe everything your doctor tells you. This is not the 1900's. This is the 21st century and not all doctors are 100% honest and knowledgeable of what they speak. I'm not saying he's wrong. Just, that he MIGHT be.

Perhaps a second opinion on that one issue might be prudent.

Ain't that the truth.

Sage advice to kids from a wise elder.....

"Drink plenty of water, never marry, and die young.".

As I am surely in the last 3rd of my life I am embracing the changes. Women no longer dominate my thoughts 24/7, being retired I live on my own schedule, and do what I want when I want. Single is a tad lonely, but then again I CAN be alone if I chose and I can walk away from nagging. Being divorced is a recipe for being broke!!

As for dying young, I wouldn't recommend it. Just take more CBD for the joints.

This is what I started shooting for in my late 20's. Early retirement is the god damn best.

I haven't amassed the things most people would by the time they retire, but it's not like I get to take any of it with me, so to hell with it.

My bad habits only cost me a couple hundred bucks a year. I refuse to have children. My life of comfortable bumminess is already set in stone.

Everyone's out there steppin' on each other's heads just so their spawn can turn out bratty and spoiled for it.

I'd just god damn kill myself if I wound up wasting my life like that.

No thanks.

LOL WebMD. LOL


Doesn't alcohol thin the blood? Mine flows like water. LOL Maybe some wine every day (If you happen to like wine).

3 feet?

3 feet?

So I claim to be the most fucked up person here. Here's a photo of me in the garden this morning. I 'm digging a post hole for a ... gatepost. That's it lying in the background. It will go in three feet. I will be tired then but I will be happy. (BTW, I 'm past three score and ten and thank my ancestors daily. Check out those legs!!!)

With a spud digger, don't claim to be fucked up physically. Wish I could do that. I can't turnover a veggie garden with a long handled shovel. :chin:

Yep, strainer posts go in three feet. Gonna have a 12 foot wide gate hang off it. Intermediate posts 20 inches deep.

Well the main treatment for high red blood cell count or RBC, is to bleed me, they take a unit and then I have blood tests to see how often they have to do it. I guess it is somewhat common. It is the weirdest feeling, like I can’t get my breath, fatigue, and the feeling that something isn’t right...

Right... I’m ready to bitch... false teeth out and everything...
Just got woken up for the third time after trying to sleep with my back killing...
1. Prick shouting in the street
2. Son (who has taken to sleeping by day and disturbing the house at night)
3. Neighbors dog that has been shut outside for the last few days barking.

Time to give up and smoke a joint before I make a row out of an incident.
