I knew, from the scales at home, that I had put weight on since the last time he checked it about six months ago. I hoped the increase when checked in the surgery would be at the lower level of the range but no such luck. The reading was at the higher level.
Five kilos heavier than when I weighed in six months earlier. My heaviest ever weight. My first ever readings in three figures.
That was bad enough but I wasn't expecting the double whammy. My blood pressure readings, so good for so many years now, were a shock. Both readings. Lying down and standing. I remembered that I had forgotten. I'd forgotten to take my medication that morning. That might have had some impact. Wake up to myself, all that additional weight must be a significant culprit.
Less food. Healthier food. Exercise.
Here we go again.
Aack! How tall are you? I suspect you're rather tall, so that number probably isn't so bad. Still, you are the best judge. Of course, less food, healthier food, and exercise have to become the norm for us "mature" folks. It's all to easy to add the kilos these days.

DeleteYour scales are clearly wrong. You looked fine the last time we saw you in Sydney.
ReplyDeleteThat must mean both my scales and the doctor's are wrong then, Ad Rad.
DeleteYup...time to chuck out both scales and change doctors.
