Having had recent health problems in the family, and having reached "that age" when such things need to be checked out I had my first complete physical today that I've had since the last one I had before college basketball.
About a year ago, in preparation for this, I had switched doctors. My former doctor was someone I went to school with, and an attractive female. Not comfortable to go through the stuff that starts needing to be done at "this" age with a good looking female friend, I switched to a male doctor.
Today I go in for my complete physical. I wish Kev were here to hear the results and comments. ;D He asked lots of questions. When he checked my heart, he said "wow, you have an athletes heart." I said "is that good?" He said "yes, very good. Your heart sounds like one of someone half your age!" Blood pressure was excellent, etc. At the end, his final proclamation was "your weight is perfect, and you're in great shape."
That was almost enough to make me forget about the other stuff that he did that was a bit less fun. :D
