That Annual Thing, 2009
GREAT news! After striving all year to maintain status quo or improve on last year’s girly checkup, I’m pleased as punch to report that I achieved my goal – at least so far, so good. (Still need to get those lab results back from blood work taken.) Here’s what we have: blood pressure 110/76, weight 119.2 (fully clothed even though I offered the alternative), heart/lungs/pelvic all “perfect”. And after all was said and done, along with some IT talk which is always a given while visiting my favorite doctors, I indulged on a McDonald’s sausage, egg & cheese breakfast burrito and hash browns. Oh and a double espresso, since Catholic Hubs was so kind as to brew some up for me this morning even though I couldn’t drink it while fasting. (That guy, I tell you.)
Mushroom swiss burger, anyone?
Congrats on you clean bill of health. I had my girlie visit this week too. Complete with mamogram. Yay me! I still have to wait for the official verdict, but got the “everything looks fine” speech. Except for the weight. Packed on a few lbs over the winter. Need to work on that. Not so yay me! =O(
Great job! I knew that you would do good! Did you score any IT side work while you were there?
@bigdogmompam – Yay you! Well, besides the weight factor. But I have faith that you’ll take it off with the help of those blessed dogs keeping you active. Thanks for the congrats, btw!
@maksbestfriend – Thanks! Doc asked for my business name and wrote it in my records, so at least he has it for future reference. Would’ve handed him my business card but I was sitting there practically naked and didn’t think of it. At least the bug is in his ear. *fingers crossed*
Got my lab result back, and WOOHOO! Better than last year:

Cholesterol:
Total 235 (ouch! but lower than 244 previously)
Triglycerides 99
HDL 106 (yeah baby!)

Couldn’t ask for better after 1 year.
