My Fall has been an exceptional one for a number of reasons, but according to my physician, my extracurricular outdoor habits may be paying dividends I hadn't anticipated. Went to see her last Friday for a number of minor complaints (mostly I was concerned about a probable tick-bite and/or a latent sinus infection). She did her special muscle-testing voodoo (don't ask) and came back that I hadn't likely been bitten, but that I had picked up some sort of intestinal parasite. She modified some of my "old guy" medications, added in a multi-vitamin and some (I guess) anti-parasitic herbal essence. She also gave me 30-days of doxycycline (for both the sinus troubles and the possible deer tick-bite). It was then that I was informed that while my weight was up a little (my wife's stress-baking is deadly) my blood pressure was/is now down to 120/78. Almost no now-poisonous mainstream news, very good food, good vino, lots of long walks, and the company of like-minded individuals seems to pay dividends that I'd of never expected. Only 5 days later now and I'm feeling pretty darn exceptional, so she was clearly onto something. Planning my next hunt now...
