I Need Smart Advice

[realityball]

I'm 72 and eat whatever I damn well please - but in moderation. I recently had a heart catheter and all my arteries are clear. No blockages anywhere. All that red meat and butter seems not to have had an impact.
I've never smoked and I'm easy on sweets.
I've had a high-risk life and screwed everything that moved.
I'm probably going to live longer than I want.

Life is like playing Russian roulette - just don't put too many bullets in the gun!

… why did you have a heart catheter ?

My doctor felt that at my age is should get a full panel of tests.
I got hit by lightning in 1982 and I sometimes have an irregular heartbeat.
It has been long known that the cause needs no treatment but she is very careful with old hearts.

Red meat and butter, screwed around, and got hit by lightning … I’m doing ok myself, but reading about you makes me wish I never smoked!

raced motocycles professionally, did cliff diving whenever I got the chance. Once jumped off the end of a pier and swim 2 miles out to a sailboat to say hi. I made explosives as a kid. I collected rocks as a kid and carried around a chunk of uranium ore in my pocket.
Performed a lot of dangerous work. And yes, got hit by lightning. Survived 2 close calls almost drowning. At 15 I snuck into a state prison to fish in their reservoir. I could keep going but I have no idea why anyone would want health advice from me!
