I had a physical and some blood tests done a few weeks ago. Got a message that the doc wants to see me for a "non urgent follow up" which I have today. Pretty sure I have cholesterol meds in my life from today.

My brother is a doctor and I was talking with him about these meds recently and the absolute wanker mentions that he loves statins (the cholesterol meds) and has literally been taking them since he was 25 years old, self-prescribed. He reckons the benefits over such a long period are way worth it with almost no side effects or issues. I was like "Well thanks for not letting me get in on the long term health benefits, Bud!!". What a prick.

And yep, I was correct. Onto the cholesterol meds I go. No biggie as far as I can tell, all other blood results were good/no issue.

Except I am apparently lacking in vitamin D - the classic accountant's vitamin deficiency! And even that's a win for the dog, as I now need to aim for 20 minutes unfiltered sunlight per day. So that's the dog and me at the park every (non rainy) morning for 20 mins or so.
