On Friday after work, I had my physical. To be honest, I wasn't quite looking forward to it, but I wasn't worried about it either. It is just one of those things that has to be done.
Blood work came back. My thyroid (which was healed from being overactive in 2001) is still normal. My blood sugar was fine. My cholesterol, for the most part, was good, except that my "good cholesterol" was low. My urinalysis was normal. The only real problem area was my blood pressure was slightly high still, so I need to start blood pressure medication. Of course, he also stated that I needed to find a way exercise more. At least 20 minutes three times a week. He said that will help my blood pressure, cholesterol, and, of course, help me to lose the extra weight I've put on. Not easy when I spend 10-12 hours away from home five days a week.
Overall, though, it was a good visit, and I praise the Lord that nothing more was found.
