Off to Kaiser in a couple of hrs.

1. Today is my annual physical. I received all the blood work results last week, and all seems pretty normal. Except fasting glucose is a tad high.

2. I'm sure my Doc will yell at me for not getting a flu shot last winter, since I was forever sick these past few months.

3. I want him to check my foot though. I fractured it last March. Every time I do calf raises, the bottom of the ball of the toes ache. But I think that's all I have questions about (anything that has to do with gay sex, I don't ask. He's straight. And I think a bit clueless or vanilla when it comes to subjects like that)

4. Of course he will be doing the prostate exam. Humm. I just wish he were a whole lot cuter! LOL!

My annual physical completed until next year :)

1. I waited an hour in the waiting room, longer than my 20 minute visit with the Doctor. The waiting room was packed. Looked like the cattle call from American Idol. Doc was in a very good mood.

2. All went well. He said all my tests are good, and in greater shape than most of his patients, and to start going back to the gym. Continue with at least 3 aspirin per week, and my usual nightly meds.

3. My foot is fine, just a pinched nerve.

4. I asked him about the posters in the waiting room about getting a pneumonia vaccine (and per grizzlyzone's suggestion). He said normally it is for people over 65, or if immune systems are compromised due to health, or surgery.

5. But since I had it 2 yrs ago, and as a child, why not. So I had the shot on the way out.

6. Then he starts babbling about the importance of checking for testicular cancer, and prostate cancer, as he asked me to drop my drawers. Talking while doing the procedure. I think he babbles about this to make the patient comfortable and get their mind off of what the doctor is doing.

7. Just before he was to "probe" for the prostate, I was thinking of saying, "Usually this involves a movie or dinner before hand. But in this instance, it's OK."

8. But I didn't. Even though he is in a good mood, I might just catch him too off guard. This comment is usually better when getting checked at MagnetSF :)

9. On his way out he asked if I'm still using Levitra. I said, yes, sometimes, off and on, and then said, "Woo hoo!!" He turned at me before closing the door, somewhat red faced, smiling, chuckling, while making the sign of the cross, as if to bless me :)
