I realize how that sounds & don't care. Hehe. Last month my BP was 154/93 & my liver enzymes were twice normal. My doctor threatened cutting off all my meds. No pain killers = both hip & knee replacement surgery. Both of each. This is serious stuff. I started taking long walks, took my blood pressure & thyroid medications religiously, bought some garlic capsules from the nearest Vitamin Shoppe, ate bananas, &, most of all, stopped drinking for the twelve days leading up to this exam. Lost five pounds. My BP was 110/80. We'll see about the liver enzymes later.
Whew though! Just refilled the Norco. Now it's drinking time. Maybe I still can drink heavily a few times a month.
I got kinda edgy while going through withdrawals. The funniest incident was at CVS. They draw those 'wait here' lines for a reason. Patient privacy. Some African guy was standing right behind the woman at the counter. I mean RIGHT behind her. Pissed me off just watching. He got the information he needed for an over the counter vitamin for his ugly ass daughter. This guy was seriously ugly. Looked like a Hutu. He had an African accent. There was a butt ugly child waiting in the chairs to my left. Oh, you just HAVE to be his kid. Sure enough, they left together. Then I get called to the counter. The Hutu returned. He takes up a position just off my left shoulder. I'm smoldering mad now. The clerk hands me the medication.
"Can the pharmacist please tell me how to use this anti-fungal for my crotch rash?"
The clerk looked confused & alarmed because that isn't what I had picked up. I turn to the Hutu.
"You getting all this?"
I turn back to a wide eyed clerk & sorta smile. She got it & hid a smile of her own. My point was respect the privacy of others.
When I told Tessa about that she burst out laughing.
"You are one CRAZY old man."
I don't get like that drunk.
