An Apple A Day

Mark this day down as the first day I went for a physical at the doctor’s. I didn’t really know what to expect other than the horror stories about some guy’s finger in my ass. Hey, that’s the truth people, they do that here in Canada!

Anyhow, I guess it went well. Although when the nurse threw me into an empty room with the instructions to put on a hospital gown, I must admit that I was perplexed by this paper mache gown that I had to figure out. After looking at every nook and cranny, I figured out where my head went in and realized that it’s better for my ass to be hanging out rather than my twig and berries.

That room was pretty cold while I was waiting around for the Doc. In the end, he came in, went through the motions (hey, no fingers entered any orifices! Beauty!) and the only thing that was wrong with me was my cholesterol was very high. Oh oh. What the heck? How did that happen?

In the end, the only thing he suggested to me was to start eating fish three times a week. I must admit I was a little perplexed that the ONLY way to bring my cholesterol down was to eat more fish. So I’m hoping that this will do the trick, otherwise, the doctor’s fears will be confirmed and the high cholesterol will be due to a little thing we like to call genetics. Gak.
