went to a free health screening test at the neighbourhood hospital. carried out by the kidney foundation folks.
the battery of tests:
1. urinanalysis
2. blood cholesterol
3. body measurement aka bmi
4. blood pressure
5. blood glucose
see? the word "blood" repeated three times is enough to wimp me out. anyhoo i tried to put on a brave face the minute a screener drew a teeny weeny drop of blood from me finger to test for cholesterol levels. and i lived to tell the tale.
i passed all the screening's except the bmi. the fact that i'm built like a twig raised questions like:
1. if i was trying to maintain my figure through dieting - the amount of ice cream and choccy's i consume will surely shock 'em
2. if i was stressed at work - living on the wee island is stressful enough, much less work
regardless, telling these twits that twigginess runs in the family was like stating the fact that the sea is actually colourless. but i did put on 3.4 kilos, which is mighty good news. what concerns me actually is my blood pressure points nearly to the low side today. not sure if the recent lack of sleep is the cause of it. or it is indeed due to stress.
probably.
