Went to the doctor because they've been wanting to keep an eye on my blood pressure RE the general family history, and discovered it's actually down a bit because since the last time they saw me I have dropped, drum roll please, an entire stone. So obviously my shoes are not expending their lives in vain. (And one new pair has already turned up after that post, LOL, though they're set aside for now until after the end of "OMG you should really be wearing boots dammit" season...) Had blood drawn to check on cholesterol as well, since age is ticking up towards "You Should Be Starting To Think About Things Like That", only to find that as usual, my veins only appear to be plump and juicy to a phlebotomist, and now I look like I've been attacked by an incompetent vampire. Bah.
Also have had a flu shot, just the seasonal one, because it seemed like a good idea what with Other Household Member being in a risk-category. Considered the merits of the H1N1 shot, since, um, yeah, but they were out of it just then and anyway I have come to suspect that that lulu of a cold last February may actually have been a case of la grippe as it was. So, merely on to worrying about side effects of the ordinary shot itself and buggrit millennium hand and shrimp
