I am Healthy!

The company I work cares about the health of its employees, so yesterday I had my company BUPA Classic Health Assessment". This thorough 2 hour test involved over 35 separate tests, and is designed to find anything that is not right in one's health. Two things came to light during the test, first of all I've grown shorter, I've always known my adult height to be 5 feet 10 inches, but yesterday I was measured at 5 feet 9 inches! I asked this to be measured again, and still I was an inch shorter. The other surprise was my weight was 70Kg, 5 KG more than my usual weight, but within acceptable range for my height.

The 45 minute check with the doctor went well, with him giving me a clean bill of health. He even examined my balls, and mentioned that I was past the high risk stage of testicular cancer, for you men out there reading this, the age at which men are more likely to get this is between 20 and 35, so get yourself checked, or learn how to examine your testicles for anything abnormal, if detected early, testicular cancer is easy to treat.

The doctor also offered a rectal examination which I politely turned down! At the end of the day, the one thing they did mention was to get more exercise, as the questionnaire I had filled in indicated I was not active enough.

So here is looking forward to another 2 years of healthy living.
