My body, the car

Thu Jan 14 05:00:53 PST 2010

Godley And Creme warned us: our bodies are like motor cars that wear out:

		My body is the car that I've been driving
		Around for forty nine years
		My body the car

		Slowly burning out the rubber
		and stripping the gears
		My body the car
		

Well, they were right. The results are in- my gall bladder ejection fraction is 11% (normal is 30 to 70). The doctor's don't seem worried- they just say its some low grade chronic cholecystitis (yawn). But they have plans to make it better.

Well, Billy Bragg advises against those plans:

		The temptation
		To take the precious things we have apart
		To see how they work
		Must be resisted for they never fit together again
		

So I have my own plans. Bring on the low fat diet. Kind of like filling the car with the ultra-grade at the gas station. Milk shakes? Get behind me Satan!
