I am going in for a physical this morning. Hubby and I are embarking on a new "healthy" journey and I thought I better see if I was up to it.
Would you believe that I have NEVER had a physical. Not a REAL physical, anyway. Oh sure, I go in every other year for my "female stuff", and I get my blood checked every so often when they feel the need, but never just because....
Well, this is a "just because" physical. I have NO IDEA what to expect. Are they going to drain me of all my blood to do all the testing. Are they going to make me pee in a cup? I love to do that. But they really need to make the cups bigger. Do I run a treadmill or other activities? Do they poke and prod in areas that do not like to be poked and prodded?
I think I have just scared myself! But I am going to be a big girl . . . head on out the door later this morning . . . and "Get Physical" *hear Olivia Newton John in the background?*
Anyone want to hlod my hand?
It won't be very exciting. They will do urine and blood, but depending on your age, no other nasty tests. Over 50 they want to do a colonoscopy, maybe a treadmill--especially for guys.
How did it go? I don't think I've ever had one either . . .at least since I was 21 and needed one before graduate school. If Margaret's comment is correct, why do we even need one? They do that stuff at the ob-gyn.
