Will you live to see 80 ?

[planedriver]

This is something to think seriously about.

 

I recently picked a new primary care doctor.

 

After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age. (I just turned 60.)

 

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'

 

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine, indulge in chocolate or coffee?'

 

'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

 

Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?

 

'I said, 'Not much.... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'

 

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'

 

'No, I don't,' I said.

 

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?'

 

'No,' I said.

 

He looked at me and said... 'Then, why would you even give a sh:censored:?

I'm still fuming about another post here which suggests that I shouldn't be doing aerobatics at my age and now you come out with this!

, I think I'll forward that to my doctor - fortunately he is of the (rare) sort who will appreciate this approach to healthcare!

I recently had a scan for a back problem and they picked up that I had an enlarged Aorta, so I asked the doc if that was a problem. He asked lots of questions and then fed some info into a New Zealand medical graph. The outcome is that to live longer I will either have to be younger, or be a woman. Got the sex change operation booked, but do I really want to live that long?

Why that's rediculous Yenn, you've

 

. It's pretty obvious you'd like to be a Starlet, but not necessarily a Long-Eze.

Kind Regards
