Thread Name: BS: What Meds Do You Take?
Subject: RE: BS: What Meds Do You Take?
Hi Kids: So I ask my Doctor(s), "Do I really have to take these?, they're expensive...) Response..."If you don't take these, you will die..." Heartwarming(pardon the pun)
So... Apo-Carvedilol(25mg) Apo-Furosemide(40mg) Coumadin(4mg) Lanoxin(0.25mg) Zestril(10mg) Euro-K(1500mg) Advair 125 2 puffs per day
This has been going on for nearly a year, but as we say over here, "every day above grass is a good day..." I go back for a check-up and my Doctor(s) tell me, "I'm doing fine" Q.Well then, how long do I have to keep taking these? A."Until you die"
Doc says, "see, it's like this, after going through what YOU went through, we find that 1 in 3 die if they don't take the Meds. And if you TAKE the Meds, it's 1 in 20,,,"Yikki Yikki Yay!
So it's "The Breakfast of Champions" for me...Coffee, doughnut, Meds...
Q. Or, As Myron Cohen(I think) said when asked, "How's the job!? A. "It's a living. If you call this living..."
Now, where's my water so my little pill can make me pee....? Sorta like having a car, to get to the job, to pay for the car, but what the hey,
Is everybody having a good time? Can I get a HELL YEAH?
