Is Your Cholesterol High?

I am going to my doctor this morning for a blood test to see how my Cholesterol is doing.

It was a very high number 2 months ago, so my doctor prescribed Zocor to bring the numbers down.  I am supposed to eat a low cholesterol diet also, but my first experiment (shhh...don't tell my doctor) is to not change my eating habits, and see if the pill takes care of things.  If it does, then I can keep having my Taylor Ham sandwiches in the mornings.

If the numbers are still high, then I will endure a healthy diet and get back to exercising.

I have been seriously depressed lately, so having a condition that might shorten my journey on this planet is not so threatening.  I actually tried pills for depression once, and they made me sick to my stomach, so the hell with that.  I don't mind dying, I just want to at least feel good when I do.

My 28 year old son, who lives in Chicago, is home in NJ for a wedding and I am looking forward to his brief visit.  I think my son respects me as his father, yet I always get the impression that he does not respect me as the man that I am.  He is a very loving and caring person, yet when he was old enough to understand the choices I made in my life, I don't think he was very impressed.  And as such, he tends to avoid me.

My 21 year old son left my home 4 months ago to begin , and enjoy, his independence as an adult.  I thought that he might at least visit me once a week, but the last time I saw him was on Father's Day.  I got lucky though, one day, when he needed a baby sitter for his new little puppy.  He dropped the puppy off, and rushed right out the door.  So at least I got to hug him real quick.

The 3 of us are supposed to have lunch on Sunday, and I am anxious to have that happen.  It has been a while since we have all been together.  My boys are from 2 separate marriages.

Sort of a boring post today, but I am really just killing time till I go to the doctor's office. 

I have got a couple of interesting dates that I will write about.  So stick around.
