FCP Bob 1,312 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Getting tired of Wynn, I really hope the Conservative have a decent candidate this time. Might have to go NDP for the first time. I don't mind pricing carbon but Cap and Trade is a really bad way to do it. A direct carbon tax is the best way and then use those revenues to cut other taxes. That's what B.C. has done and it's working really well. B.C.’s carbon tax shift works Link to post Share on other sites

Babying 613 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Yes health. I have to make some changes to my lifestyle in 2017 So I went to see a doctor today. I feared the worst and it was. I have high blood pressure. Pretty high actually. The doctor said if I was 10 points higher he would have sent me to the hospital. I have not seen a doctor in over 30 years. I have never been sick. I am devastated Link to post Share on other sites

I am devastated You're not 20 anymore...can't live on buffets, hockey cards and diesel. Seriously though, I'd suggest not waiting 30+ years before seeing a doctor next time. High blood pressure isn't good, but at least you found out before something worse happened...you can take steps to reduce it and medication is always an option. Link to post Share on other sites
pezeveng 207 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Wayne you need to cut out fast food. I eat maybe twice a month and nowhere near what I use to. Before taking the pills see if there's lifestyle changes that can bring it down. Stop betting on NBA no good for the blood pressure! Link to post Share on other sites

Yes stopping gambling might help. Especially that hell Mary by stafford to make the game go over I eat a lot of fast food. That will stop. I drink a lot of coffee. I have not had a coffee in 4 days now Have to see the doctor on Thursday to see how I am Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 How high was it? I always read a little high at the doctor's office because I get a little anxious in there, but read relatively normal anywhere else I get it measured. My blood pressure is a little high anyway since I am such a big guy + only have one kidney. Consider popping into a shopper's drug mart and use their machine to get a "second opinion" in a more relaxing atmosphere. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I was 190 over 110 today at the doctors. He said if I was 200 he would have sent me to the emergency Last night I went to shoppers and it read 210 over 120 A couple of days ago I picked up my wife at the hospital and she had a read of 170 over 110.

Dubey 1,035 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I think I had 160/90 or something one time and they made me wear a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours that took my BP every hour, turned out normal. Link to post Share on other sites

The doctor said if I was 10 points higher he would have sent me to the hospital. I have not seen a doctor in over 30 years. I have never been sick. I am devastated Genetics, diet, lack of exercise, stress all can play a part. Like somebody else said take your own healthy seriously and stay on top of things. Because I've had colitis my entire adult life I've always regularly seen Doctors but I'm lucky when it comes to blood pressure that mine is in the low normal range. Because my lifestyle has been pretty sedentary I'm reading gas meters part time which is basically being paid to go on very long walks. A few weeks ago on a Saturday my phone fitness app said that I took just under 40K steps that day for about 18 miles of walking. That was 8 hours of walking that day.

iBeaver 409 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Our gas fluctuates between 2.19 a gallon to the high today of 2.59. I paid 2.23 last week. .05 is nothing. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Dammmn. 40k steps is a huge day. I think my max is closer to 30k. Probably not quite. Link to post Share on other sites

pezeveng 207 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 As much as we joke about being degenerates, it can truly have an impact on your health. My one advice to anyone sports betting is find your worry limit. There is always a $ amount that win or lose you don't care, find that amount and make it your limit. Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 speaking of health problems... I bruised my ribs playing hockey on Friday. Didn't hurt that much at first but now it is pretty painful. Not in the "hurts to breathe" range, but firmly in the "makes day to day activity fairly difficult" camp. That's whatever, it's a nuisance but nothing major. Except that I am just today starting to get a chest cold. My wife and kid have been sick for the last week or so, and this particular cold has come with some horrible coughing fits. Coughing for me right now is borderline excruciating, and I honestly have no idea what I am going to do if I end up with a severe chest cold + an inability to cough without extreme pain. I'm really dreading it to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites

Dubey 1,035 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Cool, might try to make an appointment for later this week just in case. Sounds like it won't help for the daytime when I have to work but should be good for overnight Link to post Share on other sites

Mcds, Burger King, Fish n Chips, etc every day for lunch. The doctor showed me the Tim Horton's nutrition menu is loaded with sodium. I told my family I am changing that they will not lose their dad from health issues. I will not drag my body to hockey anymore, and I will start jogging 2 miles a day. I did tell 2 of my golfing buddies that if I can I will be walking the course if we are allowed. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
