Getting Healthy

I'm a pretty healthy guy. But between turning 30 this year (not til July!) and having a baby on the way, I have decided that it's time for me to be a little more proactive about my health. So tomorrow I'm heading to the doctor for my first physical in very long time. When I called to make the appointment, they asked if I wanted a "full physical". I said "yes", thinking that it would seem silly to omit anything. Of course, now I don't really know what I've gotten myself into!

I'm awake at midnight this evening because I'm not supposed to eat anything between midnight and my 1:20p appointment tomorrow (anyone that knows me knows that this this will be tough). So I'm here at midnight having a final snack with hopes that it will hold me over until tomorrow afternoon. Of course the request for me to fast means that they plan to draw blood. And I'm always a big wimp when it comes to needles. I used to nearly pass out, but now I just dislike it. So here's hoping they don't have trouble finding a vein.

The next step towards better health will be seeing the dentist. I don't mind the dentist so much, but I will probably have to drag Sara in kicking and screaming (ok, she's not quite that bad). But that will have to be a story for another day...
