Late last month, 'Good Fren' got himself checked at work for cholesterol levels, blood pressure etc. We brought the cats for vaccination, physical examination, and urine-testing last week. And yesterday, I went to one of the polyclinics for my health screening.
The wonderful bruise you see in the picture of my arm is a result of blood drawing from rather fine veins. You can make out the outline of the plaster. The sticky residue seduced bits of our red duvet cover.
I had a good time pressing on the bruise all throughout my Korean class last evening. =))
The vet called me up the day before and told me that Tiger and Blinky's urine test results were all good. It's a huge relief. Blinkz and Tigz are in their 60s, and we have attempted to limit what they consume and how much they consume. Looks like it's working.
However, we are not as disciplined with ourselves. Noticed the many food entries in this blog? I bet both of us have high 'bad' cholesterol levels.
While 'Good Fren' jogs in the mornings, I must make sure that our evening walks either cover a greater distance or take place at a faster pace, or both. To think that I used to be placed Top 10 in the TJC road race, or be able to complete a 10km swim. These days, I can't even survive a 2km jog without passing out.
=_= Chuiz.

It's really counter-intuitive that while you can use your Medisave to pay for that heart bypass surgery or cancer treatment, you can NOT use it for health screening.
Isn't it more important to detect health problems in their nascent stages, rather fix the disease only after it becomes full-blown and visible?
Not even asking for the tests to be free-of-charge.
Just asking to use Medisave for basic health screening tests, which are likely to cost a few hundred bucks per year. Amounting to about $15,000 for 50 years.
