So now that we have medical insurance, I finally got round to registering with a doctor - the same one the family here uses.
Yesterday was the first time I'd been to see him: initial chat and establishing some baselines. Plus blood drawn for tests. First result: my blood pressure is back in the normal region (it was high last year, when I took the medical exam for the Green Card).
Today I got the answers from the blood: nothing showing, though the cholesterol levels are on the high side. This is good news on the PSA front, as my father has had prostate trouble in the last few years.
Coming next: colonoscopy :-( A good thing to have really, as colon cancer was what killed my mother.
