I stayed out in the waiting room while Michael had his physical. At one point, I remembered that he left the blood pressure machine in the car. Got it. While he was taking the eye test in the hallway, he was not doing well but he did not mention that he needed his distance glasses so I said, "Put on your prescription sunglasses!" Oops. Also, in the car. Got them. He passed the test. They also said they were not concerned about his blood pressure readings but were thrilled that he was planning to lose 15-20 pounds by the end of the year.
He ended up with lab test for many things including thyroid and one for his low blood sugar which will give levels over the past three months and several other tests. Also, he is going to have a Shingles vaccine and a scan of his aorta, as he was a former smoker. This morning, we are going to be at the hospital right at 7AM when the lab opens, have the blood tests then go to breakfast. I have to be back to pick up Jeannie for our pulmonary rehab class back at the hospital. Lots of driving today!
I really like these new local doctors. They are all about maintaining good health.
Back to rehab. Back on the treadmill but low and slow until I build up the muscles once again.
