Hey, something works well !!!

At the age of 75 (and 75 years of pretty bad road at that), the mechanism is not what it once was. Parkinson's Disease, for instance, is not my most significant health challenge. Nonetheless, I work out twice weekly with a personal trainer and am doing fine.

So last week, for reasons that don't matter, the doctor needed to make sure my liver is working well, and ordered a blood test for that purpose. Got the results this morning. My liver is awesome. Everything is well within normal range and my liver is working perfectly.

It's not often these days that I get that kind of test result, so I'm celebrating.
