Yes, prison food will kill you. I just got back from a recall to the Medical department. They were following up on my positive TB test. Not bad, just 26 days or so later.

While I was there, I asked the P.A. if they checked my cholesterol when they did my blood work. Yes, they did, and it is back up to 218! See what eating prison food will do to you?

With my previous mackerel diet (without much exercise), my cholesterol dropped down to 175 or so. So now I am trying to figure out what I can eat to get it back down.

While walking to Medical, I was having those "Oh no, I got some fatal condition" thoughts. Then I figured, "What the hell, it does not matter that much any how."

Yeah, life looks pretty grim at this point, but at least I am not dead yet. But the downside is that the cholesterol thing is like a time bomb.

I'll live long enough to get out of prison, but by then I may be too sick to have any hope of any quality of life.

So that is the news from here this morning.  ¶ 2:40 PM
