Last night E and i went up (finally) to see Jami Kamp. she has been in the hospital for 19 days now. all for a tummy ache, which led to gall bladder removal leading to pancreitis. she has a feeding tube and got to eat yesterday for the first time.......DIET JELLO. blah. pass. no thanks. She seems to be hanging in there. it is a little absurd that it took us 18 days to get up there but with home showings and all the other stuff going on, i was glad that we at least finally made it up. Jeff's parents and Jami's mom were all up there. Jeff arrived a bit later because he had a final to take.
Today was our in office health checks. you get to do it for free. just a rough evaluation of your health. i, being a normal male, need these since i don't see a doctor regularly. last year wasn't horrid but they had to take my blood pressure twice and it was still bad. shortly after that i had to go in for a cold or something and it was fine so it must have been that day. well the results are in....
TOTAL CHOLESTEROL (<200...161
HDL (GOOD) CHOLESTEROL (>40...28
LDL (BAD) CHOLESTEROL (<130...117
TRIGLYCERIDES (<150...81
RATIO (<4.1...5.8
GLUCOSE (SUGAR) (<110...102
BLOOD PRESSURE (120/80 OR LESS...112/64
BODY MASS INDEX (18.5-24.9...28.6
BODY FAT (19% OR LESS...22%
So the verdict is in. I'm not dying, but I'm chubby. I tipped the scales at a hefty 231 clothed and reached 6'-3" on the height meter. Her only recommendation was that i should take 1,000 to 2,000 of fish oil a day. Fish oil. Crazy. If i am alergic to shell fish, is this going to kill me? i don't know...i forgot to ask. hmmmm......

That's funny, as I was looking at your HDL I was thinking "he should take Fish Oil". Both Rob & I do. But then I did wonder about the shellfish thing...it should say on the bottle.
Well...me being me...I Googled it.

It looks like as long as it doesn't contain the fish PROTEINS you're okay.
Did you know that Glucosamine-Chondroitin can contain shellfish?
I didn't.
