I read the title as: "just got physical, first time in a decade!"

I was about to say congrats! I'm glad it didn't fall off, and that must suck.

But it seems I misread.

I am sooooooo going to shoot myself on the eve of my 40th.

Problem is the suckage is gradual and sneaky.

Ah, who needs doctors and physicals. I can tell you for free, with 100% certainty, that you are gonna die. At some point.

Seriously, I need to drag my butt in as well. It has only been 1.5 (or is it 2.5) years but I've been feeling a bit sketchy, off and on. I know I don't get enough exercise or sleep and he'd probably just harrass me about that. I did lose 10 lbs though over the last few months, which is a good thing.

Plus my vision just started to slide, quite suddenly, so I just went to an ophthalmologist for that.

Getting old sux.

crazy about the vitamin D.

for the most part, you described my health. i need to up my lung capacity. jogging again..i dont smoke.

I got one a few mos. ago for the first time in several years. Quitting smoking has gained me some weight and doc said my cholesterol and BP were kinda high. He put me on meds. A month later my blood test showed my cholesterol went up! He told me to take the meds religiously only before bedtime. I need to go back soon to see if it's done any good. I did have my first prostate exam last time I was there. That was no fun.

I should add that I eat steamed greens every night, fish (usually steamed or baked) 3-4x per week, oatmeal 4-5x for breakfast per week, only use egg beaters, 1% milk (just for cooking, never drink it) and work out 4-5x per week. Doc says my issues are hereditary.

A colonoscopy sucks, but it sucks less than a colostomy bag.

eeewwwww!

Maybe if I just keep eating cereal, drinking Diet Coke and shoveling down aspirin I won't age.
