get a complete physical

I don’t have any STDs, my blood pressure and cholesterol levels are good to normal, and my liver seems to be doing just fine! If anything, I should be drinking MORE, I think.

I like my new physician. He didn’t really flinch when I told him I had 3-5 drinks a day (other than saying that I knew that it was a health concern). And when I told him about my paranoias about cancer and liver problems, he didn’t look at me (too) weirdly.

I’m surprised that my blood pressure is normal (110/80)... considering all the stress I’ve been in lately. Maybe it’s offset by my crazy diet? Or higher highs and lower lows? Laughing more and crying more?

I got a tetanus shot. Then did a urine sample and blood sample for all kinds of STDs and liver analysis and cholesterol levels. I’m excited to see what comes back. Stay tuned!

I thought I’d have to deal with all kinds of name issues since I’m registered at Swedish under a different name, but it didn’t seem to phase them! And I got an appointment for tomorrow morning which is pretty awesome. My PCP must not be very busy. Well, I’ll fix that with my barrage of paranoid requests. Oh yes.

I haven’t gotten a full physical in maybe two years. I need to check all of my paranoias off of the checklist again. Cancer, STDs, liver problems, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, etc. My doctor’s used to me pestering them about getting an chest x-ray scan and other less fun tests done. But then I don’t come in for two years, so I think it balances out.
