No he was like doing the least possible. Line up a 100 men/women of any field and on one end is the best one and on the other end the worst. He just said the regular stuff, lose weight, I am pretty big, no sweets and come get some test. Short and sweet pretty much. As far as working a lot of hours, yes it is a bit stressful but also still enjoy the camaraderie with the younger guys, I feel it kinda rubs off a bit. Saturday got a laid off which is quite common where I work. We get a few laid offs a year and called back as work picks up but very much would like a four or five day a week job and at my age it probably be a good idea to scale it down a bit.

I also have found that stress is a contributing factor (apparently, so is caffeine). I have tried to stay off caffeine, but it is difficult to avoid stress. In one week (besides normal stress) I learned that I had to have sinus surgery and was diagnosed with CLL (chronic leukemia). When I mentioned to a physician those things at a visit, I added, "Oh, and I went into AFib also". Her response was, "Of course you did!". I have had the same response from other physicians. I have never tried the cold shower - guess it is worth trying! I have not found a hobby or exercise to help lesson stress. I would love to hear if someone has.
