I went in for my free NHS Health Check this early evening at 5:10pm. My wife Sue came with me. I was weighed, had my blood pressure taken (151/91@82bpm – a little high), asked some questions about my general health, exercise, eating etc, and given a blood form to go get some tests done to check my cholesterol, PSA (prostate cancer check) and some other stuff.
Great. I’m really happy about all this. If I could just find out what was causing this rash and it revealed itself in one of the several blood tests I was having, then that would be great and I’d be able to do something about it.
At any rate, I know I’m at that “that age” where I really need to start taking care of myself, get more excercise, lose weight and eat better, so I’m really pleased and this is all good stuff. I was given some leaflets on stroke, eating healthily and had things explained to me.
I went away happy, and booked the follow up for the 12th July so we could go over the results and put together a proper plan of action.
Brilliant, and I’m feeling optimistic that I’d soon know what was going on with this rash and could get it all sorted once and for all.
