Well...another yearly report at my nurse practitioner's....the cholesterol level is higher!.and I have not lost 1 oz on that blasted scale! Why doesn't watching what I eat and exercise help????   My knees are clicking and there's some fluid hanging out around the cap....Now I have to double my statin dose and swallow pain pills!  Gee....I"m not 60 yet!!!  Work a little harder???  I'll have to start swimming and taking water aerobics with bubbas!  Be nicer to my knees...still have to work! AHHH...getting older isn't easy..just have to have the right perspective! Read that somewhere! I still think it sucks!  At least my other labs were good and my bones are still strong...I can still dance all night~!  I can still ride a few miles on my bike  and take a long hike!  I'm not giving in!  Guess I'm in for the fight!  Look out here I come!
