After 4 vials of blood taken a week ago, the results of a check-up were ok except cholesterol getting higher so... eat less animal fat.

Additionally, I was given a prescription for a Shingrix shot (prevents shingles). The doctor said this is the latest and the one to get because, no live vaccine is involved. I've passed on a shingles shot up to now but the doc said we all carry the chicken pox virus in us and those who get it are getting shingles from themselves-- it's not from being exposed to others with active cases of chicken pox or shingles. That was a new take on it to me. Although I guess your immune system has to be down to get the shingles, I remember hearing years ago if you live long enough you will get the shingles.

As a bike related matter, I was given the 2nd pneumonia shot that us geezers are supposed to get yesterday and rode a bike today so that was an easy one to take. From what I read the shingles shot can lay you low for a few days.
