Getting Old Sucks

So a new day begins in the life of an old fart. Recently I had the good fortune to get my blood pressure check due to a routine check of a monitor. To my surprise the number are not suppose to be that high! Of course my hard headiness and standard response was to shrug it off. Hell I am the T-Man so that's the way I am.

Now of course the general opinion of my job duties, involves nothing but tv, computer and sleep. Man if they only knew, 85 different personalities, whiners, bitchers, back stabbers etc etc, coming to you every day. Give em what they want and , well trust me ,they will twist it to give another reason to continue the complaints. Lets not forget, that no matter what went wrong, who actually responsible for it, almost every time it come back a being the fault of a few in a trailer. The hours not only at work, but the amount done at home and off clock, which almost everyone Has no clue about. Causes all kinds of stress.

Well cant put it all on work, poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking and Rum. Things that will do this too. Of course the ole age factor plays into it.

So getting back to the story. I then began to check my pressure everyday at work, seeing it stay steadily high was becoming expected. Now having medical experience and fellow friends around. The call for a need to seek real treatment began. Stubbornness stood strong. Got to say, something like this gets in your head.

A couple of rare days off for me came and went. With every little ache, head ache etc had me stopping what I was doing, resting then returning to it or not. Fear finally hit me, I could blow a big fuse per say. Asked the wife to recommend a good internal medicine Doc. Of course she did, a good one from a local hospital, now here's the kicker. August 25 just two months away, now I felt that was safe to wait, lol. Plenty of time to strike oil in the pressure plant I have started.So a new plan.

Began to make a few changes, like lessen the amount I smoke, yes quitting is the best. But from a pack and half a day to a pack lasting two, in just a day. I say its a good start. Food intact changes, wow never eaten this much fruits in my life. Need to so I will. Next exercise again, yes used to do the gym 6 to 7 days a week. I know couldn't tell since I always had a good protective covering over my 6 packs. See never just drank a six pack, so having a keg was cool to me. All good but more was needed. So to a doc, prescription done. Medicine, hate it. I now have officially lost my S on my chest. As in Rocky 2, see he bleeds, he is human.

We will see how this plays out, take my medicine and then in 2 months see a Doc for a complete in depth exam. Then go from there.

Damn getting old sucks!!!!
