Noi and I got the results of our recent health screening today, and I'm relieved to say that basically we were given a clear bill of health, apart from a little concern on the cholesterol front. The good thing is that this should spur us on to the healthy lifestyle to which we aspire, but occasionally fall short of.
The relief, in case you're wondering, stemmed from two factors. First of all there's the general point that we are no longer of an age when we take for granted that we'll sail through the various tests. We have plenty of friends and acquaintances who've had to deal with difficult news at routine check-ups. And then secondly, a couple of days ago Noi received a call from the hospital specifically asking her to go in and see the doctor about the results of the screening when we'd asked them simply to post the results. It wasn't a cause for panic, and we didn't, but I think both of us wondered why she was called in. In the event, it was a good idea to discuss the data and for the doc to flag possible concerns that might arise in future.
Anyway, I reckon we're both pretty happy about the outcome and keenly aware of how lucky we are, at least for now. Ultimately we are all fragile and, sadly, so many get broken too early.
