Great visit with the doctor yesterday. Wants me to drop 10 more pounds. Then start reducing the medicine I'm taking. I'm good with that
Excellent! I'm happy for you. Any drug powerful enough to do any good usually wrecks something else in the process. I've got four meds going with a goal of getting off of at least two of them. Sadly, that going to require taming my gluttony!

Only 4, I just got back from the drug store picking up my 7. None are the fun kind either.

If somebody had told me when i was 20, that one day my favorite drug would be ibuprofen, I'd have laughed. But here we are.

"Your honor, I don't remember the alleged crime, because i was wasted on a cocktail of Crestor, Flomax, and Toprol. Perhaps you could send me to a drug diversion program?"

I take the crestor, flomax and used to take 200mg a day of toprol but they changed that one to nebivolol. I also take another prostate medicine, valsarten, lunesta and lamasil. I never took any meds until I was 43, of course I never went to the doctor either. Now I have a regular doctor, heart doctor, bladder doctor, orthopedic doctor and eye doctor.

I had two surgeries in 2019. Both times, the nurses and anesthesiologist were amazed that I wasn't on any meds. They didn't say it out loud, but the vibe was, "but you're an old person!".

I'm fortunate in that my PMP and my pain management doc are pretty conservative, and go for the least invasive treatment. My running joke is that the pain management guy is protecting me from spinal surgeons, and PMP keep the cardiologist away.

That nay be a bad attitude, but it's my attitude!

No, you're just participating in the old person support group that my wife calls "the organ recital."

Speaking of which, according to a recent ultrasound, my spleen is unremarkable. Next time somebody asks me how I'm doing I might say, "The radiologist says my spleen is unremarkable, so I've got that going for me, which is nice."

Taming of the gluttony is the biggest part. We ate way too much way too often. And ate way too much junk food/ soda. Its been 7 months and it's surprising how little we eat now..
