Debate, and discuss, just dont Bore me.

Or I should say his nurse did.  This call made me wonder if he even looked at my history!  Know what He (she) said?

My HDL is fine (it was before), my Calcium is high, and my LDL is a leeetle high!

ARRRRGGGGGGRRRRRGGRGRGRGRGRGGR!

Excuse me while I rant:

WTF*)(#)#&*&I)#&(UD)(UD(&(D*&(&D*&D*(*&D*(UD*&*&(D&*(

Of course my Calcium is high!  I upped my veggie intake, ESPECIALLY my green leafy kinds, and reduced my protein!  That is what a low Cholesterol diet is! Jimmy H Chris!  What the Aitch Eee, Double Tooth Picks did he expect? 

Do you know how many times I 'cheated' on the Cholesterol diet?  My wife was looking out for me, so her sisters cooked me chicken!  Lots of Chicken!  I had eggs for breakfast twice, and cheese on a salad once!

That was my cheating in 6 weeks!  So my LDL is lower (I have not seen the numbers, but all of a sudden he is not concerned), and my calcium is higher!

To quote from our local save a rat, boil a turnip league:

Calcium: Studies have shown that vegetarians absorb and retain more calcium from foods than do nonvegetarians. Vegetable greens such as spinach, kale and broccoli, and some legumes and soybean products are good sources of calcium from plants. http://www.americanheart.org/Heart_and_Stroke_A_Z_Guide/vegdiet.html

No duh!  I ate enough veggies, I am leafing! (not here, dont fret)!  I ate enough fruit, that I won First prize in the Fruit of the Loom contest!  So of course my Calcium went up!

My Doc wants me to do more blood work.  I am not going to this time.  I am going to talk to him first (besides, that stupid blood place charges more than the doctor!).  I want him to see this and then say "you got a problem".  Problem?  My bones will break your bones now!  My LDL is controllable by Diet (and I am still eating enough hay to satisfy Secretariat).  Why do I have to be Stuck again!

Doctors are either going to kill you, or make you wish you were dead!  Grrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

(But I am still doing LOTS of Garlic too! Hehehehe - want to kiss me?)

Uh, no thanks on the kissing. Sorry, I'm just not into that brokeback scene.

Otherwise your article just reminds me: Don'tcha just love M.D.'s? Never can please 'em (... which is why I worry about pleasin' myself and basically ignore any complaints / advise my so called Doctor may have for me!)

Good thing.  I should have qualified it.  Big brawny middle aged guys are not my type.  I prefer the fairer gender.  however, if there are any Male out there that do not, My brother is my stand in!

And yea, on the doctor.  That is why I am going to talk to him.  This really makes no sense.  i do what he says, and he wants more?  Osteoparosis I dont worry about!

I am reminded of the phrase - killing me with kindness.
