I've been diagnosed as being healthy

Edited on Mon Dec-17-07 08:43 PM by qwertyMike

I'm 62.
I had a bout of pneumonia a few months ago - first illness in my life! Never even had the 'flu (seem to be immune for some reason).

Lipids/Triglycerides OK
Liver function tests OK
PSA (Prostate) OK - also Bend over, SNAP!!
Blood Pressure 96/60
Chest X-ray CLEAR - I smoke 30 a day.
Cholesterol - OK
H. Pylori (Ulcer bacterium) OK

WTF ?
I drank for 30 years and smoked the above.

Doc says it's genetic - my father is in a nursing home - age 88. His 2 older brothers died at age 85 - just fell asleep. Grandfather died at 92.
Go figger

Only thing is the Iron's a little low - $7.99 for a 3 month supply of over the counter Iron tablets.

I'm worried (/sarcasm)

1. My dear qwertyMike!

That's awesome!

Every now and then I run across someone like you who is seemingly unaffected by cigarettes...

You're lucky...

Keep on trucking!

:hi:
