Yep, I got my appointment and went for my physical this morning. I tell you, I almost didnt' go. I was scared shitless! Usually I don't have this fear, but as I said, knowing that I'm now forty something and my parents having died early, both in their 60s I just didn't want to hear anything I wasn't suppose to hear. Especially since I have not kept up with my exercise program! Yeah, I know wimpish of me but hey, there are just some things I don't want to know!
So everything is alright for now. I don't have hypertension, blood pressure normal, I got the finger exam for blood in stool - yuck! None there (now I'm going to have to put adult content just for that sentence!) EKG normal, no unknown growth or anything abnormal on my person! Yeah! So I've received the paperwork to go have bloodwork done so that they can check my cholesterol, check for diabetes, because of my family's history (on my dad's side) and something else, I forgot what. Anyway, that' s the normal checking to make sure everything else is alright.
Except for being a little overweight, which I promise to work on, or at least to get back on schedule on that bandwagon, I'm a-ok! Yeah! She didn't ball me out this time. She totally understands what it's like with having kids, working etc. Stress and family stuff get in the way of living and that can't be helped. She told me that she had the same issues too, trying to find time for herself. So we both promised each other to work on that. Isn't she sweet. She's a lovely doctor and I'm so glad she's my doctor!
Anyhoo, I'll fill you in on the bloodworks when I get it done and after the results come back. In the meantime I've got to get gung ho again!
