Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 07, 2021

Sounds (and tastes) good to THIS Plugger! ;D

You bet we do! Especially after a colonoscopy; Two breakfasts!

Must be bacon, sausage, over-easy eggs, hash browns, and buttermilk pancakes. Yummy even for a non-lumberjack like me.

Been there. Do that.

Talk about location: The clinic where I get my blood tests is a block from Burger King, and my cardiologist’s office is across the street from McDonald’s.

I always think that the morning fast for blood work would be a good way to kick start a diet. That thought usually can’t make it to noon.

If you eat all of that it will be back to bed to sleep it off !

McDonald’s sausage biscuits for me. With hash browns.

Sorry, for me it’s chicken fried steak with lots of mashed taters and gravy topped with copious amounts of black pepper!

Never go grocery shopping immediately after your fasting blood test…

It’s the All-American Slam at the local Denny’s for me.

I don’t think my clinic does annual exams. Might have something to do with their turnover, I’ve never seen the last two doctors assigned to me.

So I’m not the only one.

OK then. Biscuits & sausage gravy with couple eggs on top with Frank’s Hot Sauce sprinkled over all of it. Burp, don’t forget the coffee.

“I’m a lumberjack and I’m OK. . .”

Precisely on target

And the test was a good one! A1C down to 15.9. Fasting GL down to 428. BMI down to 51. BP 184/100

O yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It took me a couple of years but I finally managed to push my ‘annual’ physical out of the holiday season. My doctor is amazed that my blood tests are so much better.

But how does he celebrate the results? You know, when all those Lumberjack Breakfasts have resulted in an A1c of 14.3? Let me guess — he goes out for an ice cream sundae! :D

Buck Wise is a Plugger.

I just gained twenty pounds reading this!!!!!!!!!!! :)

I’m a Plugger!

And that’s OK.
