Thicker Than Water

My nurse got in touch I did not expect much from my medical results she had seen, but on one thing I failed, Cholesterol off the scale which was bad news for little old me. She just sat there quiet, I reeled off my diet, red meat, lots of eggs,dairy stuff, not much veg in the range she demanded a change, though not keen lots more greens, fair enough. I can't overstate it, you name it, I ate it, as long as it grew from the ground, my mood became petulant, gut rather flatulent, but gradually lost a few pounds. One more round of blood letting, nurse no longer fretting, the numbers down, now she was pleased, I'm one happy fellah, so I ( please don't tell her) celebrated with a burger and cheese.
